Roger and I started off our road trip by flying into Denver, CO on 5/21/2011. We reserved a "small SUV" similar to a Ford Escape or Toyota RAV 4. Unfortunately, the rental agency did not have any small SUVs, only full sized ones. We ended up with a Chevrolet Traverse AWD. After a quick stop at Bass Pro Shop/ Outdoor World to shop (better selection than the one in Duluth), we made our way to Evergreen CO.

5/25 - We dropped off our laundry at a laundromat, and decided to drive around and look at a few random homes in the area. Some of the ones that sounded interesting were actually on steep unpaved switchbacks. Pretty homes, but some are probably only accessible in the summer (with all wheel drive). This one was NE of Durango
