Along US 191 south of Moab is Wilson's arch which is, in its own way, as interesting as the 2000+ arches in the National Park. The image is from the wikipedia site on Wilson's arch.

About this time, I saw the gas indicator was at the 2/10th mark but only a few moments later it seemed, it was at the 1/10th mark and it was flashing. We detoured to La Sal, Utah and found the only gas pump in town.

We got to Durango, Colorado by mid day and checked in at the Iron Horse Hotel (our only 'historic' hotel). The image is from the hotel's website. We had a two story suite facing the railroad (this railroad is similar to the one in Georgetown except it is 3 and 1/2 hours in each direction). The hotel had suffered a roof problem from the winter snow and the pool and jacuzzi were closed.

However, Durango does have 4 breweries. We visited two of them. One was the Durango Brewery. At this place there was a 9 person blue grass band (I've never heard of a blue grass band with more than 4 people). Also, of the 9, 3 were women (I've never seen a woman in a blue grass band). Ann remarked that their composition was similar to the Supreme Court. Maybe they also produce better decisions. Someone at the Durango Brewery said that the Iron Horse Inn was going to be made into condos.

The other brewery we went to was the Carver Brewery. The image is from someone called buzztown.

Durango has a nice historic district which has been the scene for some movies (image is from here - which was undoubtly taken before a movie scene was shot) with a lot of nice looking and prosperous looking stores. We took a free trolley (a bus that looked like a trolley) between the breweries and the hotel.
