Durango ... Animas River Trail ... Ice Cream ... Life is Good

Bambi was right ... as usual ... dinner and a good night's rest makes all right in the world.

One of the features of our campground is that we can access the Animas River Trail from our campground (actually, a couple of miles of road riding, then connecting right into the Animas River Trail).  It is a magnificent bike ride ... and, after the rains the previous night, the river was flowing swiftly, the air was clear, and sky blue.  All of Durango seemed to be out on the trail celebrating just being in Durango ... kayakers on the kayak obstacle course, river float trips ambling down the the river, children and their watchful parents navigating the trail, craft fairs in the River park, skateboarders riding along the trail, homeless soaking in the sun in the parks ... just a town full of life.  Every turn would support a photo, but we just pedaled along and enjoyed a lovely bike ride.

And, for the fans of data, Mr. Gipper (our GPS) was acting up and loosing signal ... Regina Derzon would have teased us about running out of batteries ... so, no data log from the GPS, but the bike trip was 23 miles (22.9 to be exact).

And, no trip is complete without a tour of downtown ... and an tour needs ice cream.

This cowgirl is delighted to be in Durango again ... Bambi agrees.
