I went on a trip.  Not one of those lousy in-state trips.  This was a 3-state trip with my grandparents and my cousin Garret.  It took at least 17 hours of driving (including Starbucks  and convenience stores).  We drove an average 5.6 hours per day.  We stayed at 2 KOA’s in Abilene, TX and Albuquerque, NM on the way up to Ouray, CO.  We got coon skin hats on the way to Albuquerque at the Billy the Kid Museum  in Fort Sumner, NM.  Ouray is a good sight-seeing town.  Just north of the center of town is 1 of the 7 Cascade Falls.  It has a great view and the mist  feels good on a hot day.  Also just out-of-town there is an old mine.  It has a tour and a place to pan for gold.  There is a train that goes from  Durango to Silverton and back that you can buy a souvenir cup which you can get free refills for life with. In Silverton, Garret got in a bind cause we both had 10 refills each of Dr. Pepper. The restaurant’s bathroom was full and he was about to cry.|=p.Also while we were shopping, Garret and I found 2 identical pocketknives with a bone finish.  We also rode a jeep up a mountain to Imogene Pass 13,400 feet above sea level.We played in snow in July!!!!! We also saw a fort called Fort Peabody.  To the east of town is Ouray hot springs.  Four miles out-of-town to the north is the Ouray KOA, which has a creek through the center, where we stayed  for 5 days. We played by the creek most of the time and fell in a couple of times. I had to jump in twice because Garret through the ladderballs in  the creek.On the way back down we stayed in Albuquerque and Amarillo, TX.  In Amarillo we saw the play ” TEXAS” at Palo Duro Canyon,the second largest canyon in the US.  That’s how the trip ends.|=p
