Vampires at Sunrise in Durango.
Day 8: August 8, 2017: Fruita, CO: 178m/286km
Turns out that the vampires only attack in Durango after Opa goes to shave in the morning! No worries, it was just a shaving accident!
I even posted a picture of Opa washing the windshields on the bikes on facebook. My grandmother joked that she would have a list of household chores for him. Since she now knows that he can cook and clean and cannot argue that he cannot-since she finally has proof.
After plugging the address for Grand Junction's REI into the GPS we were off. We ran the Million Dollar Highway. It was a tad nerve-shredding to run along the pass and the highway along the mountains with no shoulder or railing. We made it through the mountains, all the while smelling the hot brakes of every semi, camper, and rv. Luckily, no one behind us lost their brakes-that would have been terrifying!
As we pulled into the parking lot, Opa tells a story about how he and his friend had come through on their last trip and had gone to the sandwich shop next door after spending 3 hours in REI. We pick up a new JetBoil, that Opa burned/blistered a few days ago. The air conditioning was wonderfully refreshing, it led us to over two hours wandering the aisles and shelving; we also spent time looking around for a campsite. We ended up making a second purchase; batteries, a new thermos, and still forgot his pillow-which was the other thing we needed to buy. Oh well, they will have them at the rally. After the tents were set up, I went to the pool. It was far too hot to even think of food for dinner. So, I settled for 80 ounces of iced water.
