Thursday, July 29, 2010 Hwy to Creede, Colorado

Yesterday, we had to drive down to Durango to the Social Security Field Office to finish up some paperwork with a glitch in Jim's benefits.  Hopefully, that is all taken care of.

This morning, we had to leave our site in Silveton (where we have been since May 26th.  It was really starting to feel like home :(     The "Mile High Jeep Club" comes into Silverton this week and there were no other sites available.  We checked the weather map and Creede looked like a good spot to still enjoy some cool weather.  If we could have driven the RVs over Stony Pass, it would have been a short trip, but that is definitely a Jeep trail.  So, it was a 172 mile journey over Wolf Creek Pass to our new site. 

Jim took this picture last night of a Jeepster like the ones we both owned back in the 70s,
but didn't know each other.  Same color.
Here we are hooking up the Jeep for towing.
All of today's pictures are shot thru the RV windshield.
On the hwy south to Durango, this cloud  hanging over the mountain looked like a volcano erupting!
The highway out of Durango into Creede covered some scenic areas.
We were wondering if this valley got much snow when we saw this steep roof on the barn
 and figured that was our answer.

 Neat looking weathered old barn:


 A serious curve coming up . . .

 Interesting cloud; it was pouring when we arrived at the campground. 
 Nice dinner at a Mexican Restaurant in town and we'll be ready to explore Creede tomorrow.
