Well I'm not sure where I left off but we are now in Montrose, Colorado at the Days Inn.
We stayed in Pagosa Springs at Wyndham for 4 nights and rode different roads around that area.
We rode the Silver Thread Scenic Byway several times to Lake City, Colorado going through
Creede and once around through Gunnison and highway 114 through some pretty country.
We went on a miners museum tour in Creede and I really enjoyed learning about some of the mining industry in Creede in the last 100 years. The first miners were really tough men who had hard hard jobs. Creede is a small town but has a very interesting history. I will be posting some pictures later. There have been several movies filmed in and around Creede. One was The Lone Ranger with Johnny Dept and the Netflex movie Godless with Michelle Dockery was also filmed in Creede. We ate in Creede at Miners Cafe, which is right on main street. The proprietor was avery nice guy. The restaurant is a great witness with all the Christian signs. I had the bacon and egg sandwhich and the bacon is so thick and cooked just the way I liked it. Crispy (lol) Me and Jan are completely opposite in most things (he likes his bacon regular, not crispy), but I guess we are mostly compatible because we are going on 46 years of marriage.
The ride from Creede to Lake City was so pretty with all the Aspen Trees changing colors. I have never seen such beautiful colors on trees EVER, well except the ride from Durango to Silverton.
I was literally in tears (really) from the overwhelming beauty of the mountains with all the fall colors. The Million Dollar Highway is a gorgeous ride and has great views of the leaves right now.
I think I shared about us eating at Magnolia Table in Waco, THAT was an experience to remember as well.
We will be in Montrose for two nights and then I'm not sure where we will go. Pictures will be posted later.
