| Our home in Durango |
Went to the opening day of Durango's Farmer's Market. Due to the time of year there was very little in the way of fresh produce , however there were at least 6 vendors selling organically grown beef. The market was in a banks parking lot and I'm sure that it will be full of booths once the fresh produce comes in.

After the market we headed back up Hermosa Creek Road for more fishing. When Rick did not have any luck we decided to try Elbert Creek Road, which takes off of Hermosa Creek Road. A good unimproved road that led us up above the ski resort and crossed countless ski runs and we saw at least 8 lifts. A map at one of the lift sites showed the mountain almost completly covered with runs. I had never heard of Purgatory Ski Resort before but it was apparent the many other people have.

Sunday morning was blocked out to do chores, then to town for lunch and then a walk on the Animas riverwalk that goes through town. We made the first two but opted out of the walk as the temperature dropped into the 50's and we have rain and wind. After some window shopping it was back to the warm trailer and a good book.
Tomorrow we leave Colorado and start heading west. This is our second visit to Durango and it is my favorite of the places we have spent time. A nice size with a population of approx. 20,000 and it sits in a beautiful valley surrounded by the Rockies.
