The wife and I loaded up “Clementine” with gear and goodies, checked fluids and tire pressure, double checked our list, said bye to our sons and hit the road nice and early!
Heading north to Pagosa Springs we crossed the Colorado border and the majestic San Juan mountains dominated the skyline with massive granite 13 and 14k ft peaks!
Driving west thru Durango and stopping for rest in Cortez CO.

place. The pickup was doing great! Although
Re-gearing for large tires will be a great upgrade for road trips in the future! Clementine
got to shack up in a real garage for the first time in over 20 years!
Dennis and Ellen are wonderful hosts who fed us a great meal and offered a clean, cozy spare bedroom!
In the morning after breakfast we loaded up,
and D+E towed their built FJ40 as we convoyed up the pass thru Stoner into Montrose, then Ouray (your ray) to the KOA for
SOLID AXLE SUMMIT 7!
We set camp and began catching up with old friends as the Land Cruisers rolled in by the Dozens!
