Traveling from Santa Fe to Durango, it was mostlly flat and straight with the occasional mesa or ridge in the distance. On the side of the road were endless fields of sagebrush. The U.S. continues to be wide open no matter which way we look.
When we finally arrived in Durango, we found it to be a very charming throwback to the railroad and mining days of the 1880's. It has one main street with many different stores, restaurants and a ton of bars.
I visited the Railroad Museum which had a small collecion of old railroad cars and locomotives. Then we walked around town for a long time and ended up on a Trolley Car that looped around the town and out a little to the suburbs.
We enjoyed dinner at Diamond Belle Saloon which had a good guitar playing folk singer for entertainment. He was good and we knew all the songs!
