Day 6 - Over the mountains - Part 1

Suzanne and I enjoyed a great evening with my cousin Susan. Had dinner at a super local restaurant with country music then went to Susan's house (very "adobe" style as are most in the area) to meet the great little two dogs. We left Bernalillo early in the morning (local time), around 6:30am and headed up US 55 to Montrose, Colorado.

The route took us up to the high desert through beautiful sandstone outcroppings and buttes to a maximum elevation of 7,000 feet where we crossed the Continental Divide. We then continued North to Durango, Colorado where we stopped at the Harley Davidson dealership for the mandatory T-shirts.
