Exploring Durango and the area

Saturday, Dec. 22nd

Today, we had a slow start, mainly getting settled in and relaxing. The temperature was 9 degrees when we woke up, but it was a sunshiny day, so the temp rose quickly. We had the heat set a little high, and were a little toasty overnight. We'll have to adjust that. Tony made us eggs and bacon, and we enjoyed  taking it easy this morning. Tony took a few pics, and I got our tree set up and decorated. now it feels like Christmas!

We finally decided to go out to the Sky Ute Casino in Ignacio, CO, not too far from Durango. We visited the Casino a number of years ago. They had advertised a year-round RV park, and we were curious if they still had it open. Sure enough, the park was there, and a park host was staying there, with full skirting around the base of their fifth-wheel. No guests, but it looks like they are well prepared for winter RVers. This Casino has very unique architecture.






We decided to eat at their buffet, and then play a bit. At least they have a small area for non-smoking play! We didn't win big, so we headed back to Durango. We explored a new housing development out by the hospital, called Three Springs, and then drove through downtown Durango. There seemed to be lots of folks out shopping! We made a few other stops, and then returned home to have a quiet evening. 

Before we left for our trip, we removed one of the recliners, so that we could set up a clothes rack to hold our ski-gear, and keep it out of the way.

Looking forward to hitting the slopes tomorrow!
