The Silverton Adventure has ended, on to the next one...

Well, the race is now over... I miss all those people
now. We spent 2 full days together in the back reaches
of the San Juans and you tend to bond over those kinds
of experiences. I am blown away by the abilities of
those runners, all ages and all VERY STRONG !! Hardrockers..
I have much to say but I'm tired. I maybe had 3 hrs sleep
from Friday to Sunday, slept good last night but eating
all the crap instead of real food at the aid station did
a number on my stomach. I'm in Durango currently
and it is HOT here. It's almost 3,000 feet lower than
Silverton so that's to be expected.

I am spending the next couple of days here with my
friends Kathy and Mark. Tomorrow I will go to Mesa Verde
National Park (I plan to visit all the parks before my
time is over on this planet). I had to get a new battery
today since my other one died and John Beard had to keep
jumpstarting me all over Silverton. He is the nicest guy
alive I think. Thanks goodness it wasn't something more
serious.

I will post more later on the weekend with pictures.
Right now I think I will wander the streets and do some
shopping! They have very good shops on this street.

Cheers!
