Ouray Colorado has been our home for the last 3 days. Not a bad place to hang out for a bit. Our hotel has natural hot springs that they use to heat a bunch of hot tubs. There is a nice mexican joint and a few pubs on Main Street, and everything is in walking distance. The waitresses in the Mexican place laughed at us last night (our 2nd night there) cause we were the guys who don't like sitting next to each other. For some reason they put the chairs at the tables next to each other, and we have to rearrange the chairs across from each other so we don't look fruity. I guess dudes in Colorado are a little more friendly with each other....or at least smell better.
There is tons of riding areas around here....hwy 550 (the "million dollar hwy") takes us towards Silverton and Durango and is know all over the world as one of the best motorcycling roads in the US. There is dirt everywhere, and the passes up towards Telluride to the West, and Lake City to the East are also known to be some of the best Jeep trails in Colorado. I could stay here all summer.
Maybe it is from being in Colorado and Utah so long, but Kansas is really a slap in the face. Took all day to drive across some of the worst weather of the trip, plus the only toll road of the whole trip....seriously, I gotta pay for this? Gas mileage really takes a crap when you are pushing against a 40 mph wind....got about 8 mpg on the last tank. No interesting pics, so you get hay bales and a freaky cloud.....thats all I got.
