Any suggestions for Durango, CO?
We're thinking of heading there for a week once we escape the vortex in Wittmann.

Forest, we stayed at the Alpen Rose RV Park several years ago. Very good park. Be sure to ride the Durango-Silvererton RR. We were able to get the parlor car at the rear which served free drinks (coffee, cokes, etc.) along with doughnut etc. Coming back we bought a glass of wine. Nice trip.

Depending on early or late snow melt we stayed in Pagosa Springs area cause Mama likes the hot pools.. we stayed here: http://www.coloradodirectory.com/pagosariversidecamp/ and here: http://www.pshotsprings.com/
Most of these open on May 1 .. Stayed in Duango, like the area and train to Silverton .. but a busy place...

Watch out for deer & elk! Especially night driving in that area.

We got here yesterday. Nice quiet smaller park just west of town off 160. They officially opened today and there is just 1 other couple here except the owners and camp hosts. The site we're in is plenty long and private. The street through the campground has a few tight turns that might be difficult if the park is full.
Talking with the owner he used to have a 1999 45' Prevost so he knows what it takes to park a big rig. Interesting guy, his dad used to own some MCI and Prevost entertainer buses and he grew up going to concerts with Willy Nelson, Merle Haggard, and even met Mickey Mantle a few times. Said he was on stage as a kid over a 1000 times! What a neat way to grow up.
Ate lunch at Franciscos in town and had a really good pastrami reuben with green chiles. Thanks for the suggestion Ron.

Hey Forrest. Outside chance we may be there next week. How long you staying for?
Also just read on razor forum they now allow atv's to drive thru town.. Can they drive from campground up into mountains from there? And also what's the weather like?

Marc we're only staying here a week then have to head back to Louisiana. We're leaving next Wednesday or Thursday.
Not sure about riding, had to leave the Rzr back home since I had to put the truck in the shop.
