Colorado Springs, Colorado
We finally left home for our 2009 roadtrip vacation on December 24th after cleaning up the house, taking out the trash (so we dont come home to unpleasant odors), and preparing all of the animal affairs to make life easy for our critter sitter, Caren. I think we left the house at about 10:00am. Oh well, better late than never. We still havent really decided exactly what we are going to do but we know that ulimately we want to end up in San Francisco via PCH or Hwy 1 along the west coast line probably starting in Los Angeles.
We took I-25 south out of Colorado Springs to Walsenburg at which point we decided to go west by way of Durango, CO. We drove along Hwy 160 under crisp clear blue sky's and 18 degrees. The snow capped Sangre de Cristo mountain range was beautiful and Blanca Peak looked frigid. We arrived in Durango and stayed at the Doubletree on the Animas River which we would recommend to anyone.
