Durango & Silverton trip #1
September 12, 1997 The plan
is to drive from Rockford at about 8pm on a Friday and get to O'Hare airport. From there I'll take a 10:10pm flight
to Denver Colorado. Somewhere about midnight I'll hop into a rental car
and drive through the night to Durango and catch the morning steam
train. After the steam train I'll head towards the Rocky Mountain
National Park, overnighting at Gunnison CO, to meet up with family
for a day. At the end of the day I'll head back to Denver and fly back
to Illinois - arriving back at home about 1:30 am Monday night /
Tuesday morning. Three days, 1100 miles in a car, 100 miles on a train,
1800 miles on a plane. A whirlwhind trip, little sleep, grand views -
certainly worth it.
