Winding down this adventure ...

We left Durango, but not before getting a flat tire in our BMW X5 ... probably a sharp rock.  We were quite impressed with the "run-flat" technology that allows for extended travel on a flat tire ... but the tire needed to be replaced before we re-connected and head out of town.  And, given that the tires already had 30k miles on them, Paul decided to get 4 new tires. Unfortunately, no run-flat tires our size were available in Durango (in fact, the tire shop had not ever seen this type, size of tire) ... so, an order went out to Denver and the tires shipped in (quite quickly) and we only had to extend our trip for an extra two days ... Paul became quite acquainted with the owner and staff at Firestone Tire of Durango as we awaited our new tire installation and was pleased with our support of a good group at Firestone ...

New tires ... on very road-grimed wheels ... Fritz has four new tires and is ready to tow ...

We left United Campground with promises to return ... there is much more that we want to explore in Durango ... but we had to leave because the upcoming Memorial Day weekend was the time for the Iron Horse Classic Bike Race ... a race between road cyclists and the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad Train to Silverton and everything in town was reserved for the weekend of racing and associated festivities.

A waterfall along the road through Wolf Creek Pass ...

And, on to Colorado Springs to Trudy's home where we cleaned up Bambi ...

And we returned Bambi to RV storage ...

All good adventures should end with a celebratory meal ... and this one was hosted by Trudy at her home as she made a German food fest for family ...

And, we returned to Tucson the next day ... well-fed and well-adventured.

Bambi awaits our return and more adventures to come ... but this wraps up this current adventure and we're already planning the next round of travel ... stay tuned for more exciting adventures with Bambi ...
