Pagosa Springs, CO and White Rock, NM

We left Durango this morning for the next leg of our trip. It was sad to tear down our campsite of 4 days. We've been contemplating revamping our travel itinerary to just stay in Durango. But, we did not.

Before leaving town we went back to Carvers Brewing Company Cafe for lunch. Sure enough we had the same server as the night before. She recognized us.

We sat on the back patio this time. There is No Parking on Saturday from 4PM to 9PM because of a bike race! Where are you going to find another sign like this?

Instead of a porter, I ordered their fresh brew coffee! It was great. I picked up a souvenir Carvers coffee mug. I also enjoyed the Portabella wrap while Em had the same dish she had the night before.

After lunch we hit the road for NM. We went through Pagosa Springs, CO this time for better scenery than what we had driving from Albuquerque to Durango.

In Pagosa Springs we needed a pick-me-up. So we found Higher Grounds Coffee. A step into the bathroom was interestingly filled with motivational sayings. I ordered a Europa brew and Emily had a Iced Chi Tea. It was perfect for the rest of the drive.


The drive to NM was very nice. We took routes US 160 and US 84. It was nice to finally arrive at Rob and Stephani's home in White Rock, NM. Gratefully, they have a wireless internet connection.

Off to explore Santa Fe, NM tomorrow and maybe Bandelier on Monday.
