I returned to civilization with an overnight stay in Durango, CO, thanks to Henderson ex-pat Walt Dear. Most definitely one of the cutest downtowns I have been in on this trip. And probably the most functioning as well. This downtown must be what they all used to be like. Every storefront occupied, lots of shoppers. The bookstore on Main was amazing, and there were so many good places to eat I had a hard time deciding what to do for dinner.
I was enjoying Durango so much, I thought I might stick around for an extra night or two, but I woke up to these angry grey clouds. So then the choice became leave or stay for a week until the snow is gone. Me and cold weather don't get along so well, so I headed out. It was kind of sad to leave after such a short time. It felt like a place I would enjoy spending time in.
It's also pretty clear that the small business owners in town have a good sense of humor. Just a couple of examples...
