Home Again

This evening, I made it home to Jamestown, New Mexico.

It was a smooth ride until I reached Farmington, New Mexico. The traffic there was heavy. Plus, the lack of signage had me "mighty bewildered" (as Daniel Boone used to say) and I had to stop and use Google Maps to get me to the right road and out of town. I think I will avoid this route (Hwy. 550) in the future.

The day started in Durango after packing up everything when I went to the Lone Spur Cafe in town. As luck would have it (again), I finished breakfast just in time to see and video (below) the Durango train depart Durango Station.

After that, since I had a couple of hours to kill before the screening of Godzilla vs. Kong, I stopped at a gun store to see what they had. Unfortunately, they didn't have what I wanted (Winchester .30-.30 ammo).

But, that worked out good because before going to the theater, I filled The Beast's gas tank and went to a neighboring coin-operated car wash (that accepts credit cards) and gave The Beast a good, badly-needed wash.

Following that, I headed over to the theater to see the movie. The theater had stadium seating. Each seat reclined and had a swivel tray. The seat was too comfortable as I had to keep from dozing off.

After the movie, I headed out of Durango for home. I made one stop. It was the Tsaya Trading Post that's a few miles north of Crownpoint, New Mexico. The route in New Mexico took me through the Navajo Nation. 

After unpacking, I watched a Blu-ray on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad I bought at the Durango Station gift shop.

All in all, it was a good trip and very enjoyable.
