Day 76 of #BoxsterRoadTrip has us traveling northward from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Durango, Colorado.
Because we knew today was a shorter drive than normal, we took our own sweet time having breakfast and packing. It was in the 40’s when we left Albuquerque, which seemed quite warm, compared to the last few days! The sun was shining but we DID NOT put the top down. We may have seen our last topless days until we get to California (maybe Nevada, who knows). Leaving Albuquerque, the scenery was spectacular, however . . .
As we drove north, the scenery got even more spectacular, with beautiful colored outcroppings of rocks and plateaus. The road (US-550) was very lightly traveled and pretty darn straight. So straight it was putting Steve to sleep, so Jo took over driving and Steve took a little snooze. The one worry we have is that there might be snow tonight (check out the increasing clouds in the photos). We are hoping it passes over Durango!
We arrived in Colorado in the early afternoon and headed into downtown Durango for Starbuck’s, some window shopping, and a little walk. The temperature remained in the high 40’s. Durango is a lovely town and we enjoyed looking around but we wanted to check into our Airbnb before sundown, so we headed to 2nd Wind Aspen Room, where we are spending the night.
Tomorrow we head to Arizona and THE GRAND CANYON, where . . .
The journey continues . . .
