Well I made it home at 11:30 pm last night. 2196 miles and seen some of the best scenery. Only 2 problems happened and a whole lot of nothing after that. I found that Crow hill,Wolf Creek pass & La Vetia Pass are no joke. I just wish I had more time.
 
I was out there 20 yr,s ago and wolf creek pass in one heck of a hill. did you ride the durango silverton train.? we did and had a lot of fun . Delta red is north of there 70 to 100 mi. Bob
 
Bob I was there and rode the Durango to Silvertown last fall and it is a great train ride. Did not know I was that close to Delta Red.
 
Love the area but haven"t been there since "77. Worked at a dude ranch near Durango that summer out of high school. Lots of wildfires all around us. Awful drought.
 
I remember the cut left from the snowblowers, and assume those passes are closed for winter. I have not been there since '95, had a lot of fun at Purgatory on ski's, and in town, was there a week or so and skied other 2 areas telluride, and wolf creek. When they say back country, boy do they mean it, I could not believe how far in the distance those snow covered rock outcrops/mountains in the 14,000' range went, incredible scenery, makes me want to dig out the photos LOL !
 
Been there skied Vail, Copper, Breck, Keystone up to Steamboat, Also Heliskied near Vail. Road Silverton & Durango been to Mesa Verde, Hiked Zion, Bryce, Arches, Colorado Monument, Goblin valley and many other places. Seriously thinking of moving to CO just saw a house we're interested in. Be quite a move from NY. If so there will be a bunch of old iron for sale in NY.
 
Do you mean the crow hill by Bailey? I live about 5 miles east of there just off the highway.
 
Just south of Conifer on 285. Power steering pump went out in Conifer taking the brakes too. Thank God the Carquest had the parts for a parking lot repairs.
 
Mesa Verde is something isn't it ? I went there and toured the place, quite a bit to see and appreciate, its incredible given the time frame since the 1100's, that the villages under the rocks, remain intact like they were occupied yesterday, that and the water running in a channel carved out of rock up top, well none was running then but you could see what it was for. I took a month + off and spent it exploring the southwest, was a great time. There were other canyons and so much to see, started in Albuquerque, went north to Colorado, west to Utah, then south to Arizona, east to California, ended up in Palm Springs, then L.A. then Beverly Hills.

If you went east to Comnyfornia, you took the long way around.
 
We have been all over Colorado. The Canadain rockies are more beautiful and isolated. Santa Fe would be my choice where to retire if I could afford it. Lots to see out there and learn about. We have some Indian friends that we have bought different things from over te years.
 
That's sorta funny I'm in Colorado and we are always saying we are in a drought. Sounds like we've even in one since 77. And Durango still gets wildfires.
 
I live in color rady and I like the areas your talking about. But I should would like to go back east and see all the history there
