Durango

We got home from Durango on Sunday evening for a little family vacation and let's just say that it was incredible! We had no idea what was in our "backyard" - mind you it took SEVEN hours to get there from here, but it was worth the trip. We had a great time. And there was so many wonderful things to see. So, here are some of my favorite scenery shots while we were there. We got a chance to go 4x4ing up the mountain near Kate's Mine. Not sure if that helps anyone have any clue as to where we were but even if it doesn't...does it really matter?

There was also this incredible tree with its roots firmly planted in and through a rock wall. It was incredible. I couldn't help but think of those posters telling you to "keep on keeping on" - or something like that. But, it really was neat to see how nature can be so resilient - that tree was not exactly planted in an ideal location and yet it beat the odds and seems to continue to thrive even still. For me, in all cheesiness, it really did motivate/inspire me to continue on when times are difficult because despite all the odds, I can thrive :)
