Saturday, April 2
Since leaving Tucson, we've tried to wean ourselves of Starbucks Lattes, Frapaccinos, Iced Teas and Americano coffees – cost more than anything else. Our friend, Sonny, in Lacey schooled Duffy on the merits of McDonalds's senior-rate coffees – black with added cream. Really quite tasty. So, for days we've been finding a McDonald's to supply our caffeine (and decaf) needs. But, no golden arches did we find in Durango. Perhaps, too much of a yuppie town. There was, however, a Starbucks downtown near the historic central district.
So, while Duffy drank the caffeine-only coffee provided at Alpen-Rose RV park, did laundry, and worked on the laptop (with the provided WiFi codes), I zipped into town, bought a latte (mmmmm-good), and did a little souvenir shopping. I'd spotted a Natural Foods store on the way to the campground last night, so I made my way there (zipping wasn't possible) where I picked up some GF snacks for the road. Then, after filling the van with gas at $3.60/gallon I returned to the RV park to get ready for departure.
Leaving Durango at 1:00pm, we had enough daylight left to get us to Utah. Once we hit the road we only stopped for rest and gas breaks – except for the Dairy Queen in Cortez, CO where we bolstered ourselves for the rest of the trip into Moab, UT with a dairy delight. Admittedly, our diet is not always the best when we travel. But, oh how we love our DQs and oh, how their 'Cool Treats' salve our travel-weary attitudes. May not be good for the soul, but it sure tastes good going down!
Until next time,
Pam
