Colorado 2009 - Durango

What's Covered?

This year's holiday planning was left a bit too late to book any organised tours so one evening I asked "why don't we go and visit John Daigle in Colorado?" John had some work commitments but we worked out a plan around them and then asked Rick Stone and his wife Stephanie if they could join us at some point. The linked pages show our pictures

There are nearly three hundred small pictures in the full tour that will expand to larger images. That is the best way to view but it takes a while to load. If loading takes too long, visit the locations or view the thumbnails only page.

When the page has loaded, just mouseover any picture to see it full size.

24 - 25 September - Durango

This was to be a high spot of the holiday. Travelling the Durango to Silverton railway in both directions with John, Rick and Stephanie.

Absolutely the right man for the job

Not the local ski shop, this is a fence

The wonderful Strater Hotel

26 September - Monte Vista

The journey from Durango back to near Denver was too much for one day we had asked our travel agent to find somewhere en route. Monte Vista was about the only place. It was pretty much a one hotel place so Movie Manor it had to be. Originally the site was an airfield and then it was taken over and run as a drive-in movie centre. In time the hotel was added. It sounded a bit off-beat and it might well have been, if the movies hadn't stopped the week before!
