Where I stayed

Echo Basin Dude And Guest Ranch and RV Resort

Flag of United States Mancos, Colorado
Wednesday, September 17, 2008

We had a beautiful, breathtaking, up-and-down kind of day yesterday, as Greg drove the motorhome on twisty, windy, narrow roads, through five mountain passes, all in the 10,000-11,000+ range. It was beautiful and amazing, but no more amazing than the incredible sunset viewed from our site here at Echo Basin Ranch, west of Durango, near Mancos, Colorado. Our site is right next to the corral, so we even had a half dozen or so horses as neighbors last evening!
Pictures are still on my camera, so I'll upload them later.
