The Train Ride

I am staying at the Bayfield Riverside Campground in Bayfield. It is about 18 miles from Durango. It is one of the most beautiful and pristine campgrounds I have ever been at. I took soooooo many pictures there. Here are just a few....

 

  

  

 Yesterday I just walked around the colorful town of Durango! Drove around the area and went to a fish hatchery. Was a nice day, no running around.

 

  

  

  

There was a group of 7 Tibetan Monks in town for a display and a conference. These two were doing a sand mandala. Absolutely amazing! These are their only tools.

  

Today I got up at 5:30 AM to be able to be at the D&SNGRR station by 7:30. That is the Durango & Silverton Narrow Guage Railroad. It is a 4 1/2 hour ride obviously from Durango to Silverton. It follows the same route as the million dollar highway, going over and thru many passes. It was a wonderful trip. Instead of taking the train back I took their bus, that only takes 1 1/2 hours. Unfortunately, there was construction and an accident and I was gone for 8 hours. I was so worried about Asher but he was absolutely fine!
