Today we took a drive from Cortez to Durango and Silverton, CO. The drive was nice but we didn't see as much show on the mountains as we've seen in the past.
When we got to Durango a lot of businesses were not open for the tourist yet, I guess we were a little early. The same thing was true for Silverton. All of the stores and restaurants there had signs that read "Closed will open May 15th".
We were going to take a scenic drive from Silverton to Animas Forks an old mining town but the roads were closed due to heavy snow in the mountains.
On the way back to Durango we ran into a snow shower that lasted about 30 minutes. It looked pretty but it was not fun to drive in it. Thank goodness we didn't have any traffic on this road. About half way back to Durango we hit another snow storm.
The only good part of our trip was a stop at "Serious Texas Bar-B-Que" for one of their great bar-b-ques with cherry chipolata salsa. Believe me they are well worth the trip. We enjoy the salsa so much, Jerry bought three bottles so we could enjoy it on our Alaska trip.
I have a few pictures but I really wish I could have taken more. embed
