Day 158

I woke up around 6 am and went to the bathroom to shower before the rest of the campground woke up. I was feeling good and ready to go pack up and walk into Durango. I walked out of the bathroom and it was raining. Shit. I ran over to my site and covered the stroller with a tarp and hopped back into my tent until the rain passed. 
Just a little delay. Nothing to worry about. I had to walk on the highway for just a couple of miles and then there was a river trail that I could take all the way into town after that. I was really looking forward to getting off of this highway. 160 is a nightmare this time of the year. All tourists with oversized RVs that they can’t drive. 
I made it to the river trail and was already feeling my knees buckling. The trail was amazing. Beautiful and quiet. Then it happened. Hills. Ugh. Huge hills up and down. I was thinking that it would flat since it is alongside a river but I was wrong. Oh well. It was still nice to not be on the highway. 
I saw a lot of little moles. I guess that’s what they were. It reminded me of that game at chuck e cheese where you whack the moles with the foam hammer. They just kept popping their heads up and running from hole to hole. Kind of cool. I’ve never seen them before. 
I get into town and look up hotels and realize that I’m in a tourist town by the prices. I didn’t care. I booked a room for 2 nights and checked in. I finally got off of my knees and had a nice bed to lay in. 
I planned to do some things around town tomorrow. Including getting on the newspaper. I had some other errands to run also. But that can be tomorrow. I laid in bed and that was that.
