It's a Beautiful Day!

Wow! What a gorgeous day for riding! The weather was perfect! It was warm, but not hot, due to the overcast sky. The clouds threatened rain, but only succeeded in keeping us cooler than yesterday! Had poker cards to get punched at several stops along the way, and really enjoyed the beautiful scenery across northern Arizona. Also enjoyed the Navajo code-talkers exhibit in Kayenta, Az. Stopped at the sign for Four Corners, but it was closed for construction. Guess it's a lie, anyway, since the surveyers put the actual spot at some 20 miles away! Ha! Checked into a bed and breakfast in Durango (the Leland House--really great!) rather than stay at the rally location, a casino some 20 miles out. Spent some time on Main street Durango tonight doing the "pub crawl." Plan to get up early tomorrow in order to drive the 250 mile San Juan loop, also called the Million Dollar Highway. Supposed to be very incredible switchbacks up the mountain to the mining town of Silverton. Duane promises to abide by the speed limits on the curves. Enjoy!
