June 18 – Denver to Durango
- Late start.
- Flat tire.
Ever seen a more auspicious beginning to a vacation?
We had planned to leave Denver around 3pm and drive US285 through South Park to US160 with a little corner cutting on Colorado 112 from Center to Del Norte. Instead, when we actually headed out of town around 6pm, Google said that, with rush hour, I-25 south past Pueblo to Walsenburg and then west on US160 would save us an hour. Hope that was true, but we’d have been on Wolf Creek Pass after dark either way and I’m sure the pass is more fun in the daytime. Just sayin’.
