Leaving Montrose, Colorado, I moved on to Crawford, Colorado to use as a base to explore the north rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. My real excuse was really to visit Crawford! Any town or place that sports my last name has to be visited and explored. This is Needle Rock Natural Area …
Leaving Cortez, Colorado, I moved to Caddis Flats, A Bureau of Land Management river access point and camping area near Telluride, Colorado where I stayed for 5 days while I spent some down time relaxing and enjoying day trips in to Telluride and surrounding areas.

While staying in Cortez, Colorado to explore Mesa Verde National Park in the previous post, I also visited Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. I was only able to visit two sites while there so a future visit is in order to see more of the sites there. The first stop was Lowry Pueblo. Next …

Driving north in to Lubbock on I-27, Cook’s Garage caught my eye with all of the gas station signs! While in Lubbock, I visited the Buddy Holly Center (no photos allowed of his memorabilia), the Silent Wings Museum, and the American Windmill Museum. Be sure to check out the Lubbock video on my YouTube channel. …
Leaving Alpine, Texas, I visited Fort Stockton, Pecos, and Big Spring. I didn’t shoot photos everywhere but I did shoot a lot of video so don’t miss the videos on YouTube.
