June19 - We ate breakfast at Sonja’s (Pop's favorite.) We took a little time off with a trip for groceries and to replace a part for the camp stove. The afternoon we visited Bolack Wildlife Museum. There is not a charge but appointments must be made. The museum has an
extensive collection of wildlife from around the world. Most Mr. Bolack or his son killed or were mercy kills and donated to his collection. A few were given to him. He was a self-made oil man. His son has taken over the collection and maintains it well.
We ate pizza for dinner and washed the car. Returning, we spent the night again at Pop’s.
June 20 –
Fixed breakfast in the Snail, Sportsman Warehouse again for supplies and headed for Durango.
We checked in at Durango KOA at the proper time and set up camp. Lunch was a Simply Texas Barbeque.
We choose to drive to several of the campgrounds in the forest which proved interesting. Junction Creek is a drive up the mountain on a very narrow road to a lovely campground with several loops and sites close together with a lot of forest vegetarian around. The Host couple were in a Casita who were cleaning up after a dutch oven dinner. We decided that the road was a little (way too) narrow for meeting another vehicle. I was hardy comfortable in the car. Next was a stop at Appaloosa Trading Post. Very interesting place. The gentleman who owns and designs fabulous decorative items and belts. I NEEDED a new belt.
June 21 is Sunday
Pancake breakfast at the KOA. W/strawberries and whipped cream. I left my prescriptions to be filled at the Walmart and headed for church. Upon returning I had to address my insurance claim, etc. frustrating. Got them finally. Small lunch at the Snail.
We were off to the Southern Ute Cultural Center with the misconception that since it was Summer Solstice there would be activities. None at all. It has a lovely museum. It dealt largely with the children who were removed from home and housed away from village for educational purposes (brain washed and not allowed to speak their own language.
We checked out several other campgrounds in the forest which meant we mostly rode around in the forest.
