I have always wondered, when watching one of those stupid horror movies, where they get the idea that a young couple, taking a road trip out west, would suddenly find themselves in the middle of nowhere and be attacked. I mean, really? Where in the world would you be able to drive hours without seeing one sign of civilization? I now can make a list of destinations to answer that question.
Today, we experienced driving where you thought you could see fields for miles and miles around and then suddenly turn a corner and there is a town, complete with 3 liquor stores, a bank, billy goat with horns on a leash and a dead sheep lying upside down with it's legs in the air.
Bored with views of the mountains and the cows (trust me, you get bored!) we began judging people not by their houses, but by their gated enterance ways. It didnt matter if these people have a log cabin, ranch, mobile home, or just a parked RV on land, they spend all of their money with these amazing wooden archways that frame their dirt driveways. This particular gate framed a driveway that had to be followed behind the mountain in the picture to get to a house that we couldnt even see.
Not much to tell about this drive. We drove through Pagosa Springs, more mountains and finally have reached Durango. Where we are settled at our campground with a great view of the San Juan Mountains.
