Today, we took a drive from Cortez to Durango and Silverton, CO. The drive was nice but we didn't see as much snow on the mountains as we've seen in the past.
When we got to Durango a lot of the businesses were not open for the tourists yet, I guess we're a little early. The same thing was true for Silverton, all of the stores and restaurants had signs that read "Closed will open May 15".
We were going to take a drive to Animas Forks to show Michael and Terri an old silver mining ghost town but the road was not opened all the way so we had to turn around and head back to Durango.
On the was back to Silverton we ran into a snow shower that lasted about 30 minutes. It looked pretty but it was not fun to drive in. Thank goodness we didn't have any traffic on this road. About half way back to Durango we hit another snow shower and this one lasted about forty-five minutes.
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 chipolte salsa. Believe me they are well worth the trip. We like the salsa so much that Jerry bought three bottles so we could enjoy it on our trip to Alaska.
I have a few pictures of our little trip but not as many as I would like, sorry about that.
