Day 35 ( Sightseeing in Durango, CO)  0 miles, Total still = 6,863.7 miles
My son Craig drove down from Carbondale, CO, where he is temporarily residing while looking for a job in CO.  He came down last night and Jan and I went with him into Durango and had supper at a Brew pub where a friend of his works. He spent the night in Dave's camper as ours is really a (2) person unit. This morning the five of us loaded into his rental car and drove up into the mountains north of Durango.  We thought we had seen enough mountains already, but the CO mountains are unique in their own way.  Many of the Aspens had already dropped their leaves, but not all and we were treated to some beautiful sights.










Mix this with some early snow on some of the peaks and you have a great combination.




 We drove up to Cold Bank Pass Summit (10,6660') and saw some great peaks.

Then we continued on to Molas Pass (10,899') and saw some even better views.





Returning to Durango (which sits at about 6500') we had lunch at a great little restaurant (Ken & Sue's) on Main Street and then walked the old time Main Street and window shopped. After going back to our campground (at 7000') we spent the remainder of the afternoon catching up on his job search and other adventures in CO. In the evening the five of us had a very competitive game of Cosmic Whimp-out.  Jan and I were left in the CO dust while Dave and Craig were victors for the night.
