Wednesday, Oct 21.....

Yesterday was a travel day, leaving Ouray for a two day break at a resort, Dunton Hot Springs...first we had a stop in Telluride for lunch - we had skied there thirty four years ago! It has really changed....


The town is wonderful as ever, retaining its traditional architecture and appeal. And the setting - incredible!!! A wonderful spot....

Then onto Dunton Hot Springs...."you can't get there from here" describes it well...the owner took the old (probably abandoned) town of Dunton, brought in old cabins and painstakingly restored the "town"!



It is unique, expensive, and in a wonderful setting. There is a bath house with a hot spring pool, and wonderful showers; massages available (apres-hike today).....Room for about forty guests (Robert Redfod was here last week), there are six of us here at the moment. Large staff, great beds...The other two couples are delightful, and that's good because we share the main meals together...lots of good hiking right out our front door, which we will partake of after breakfast. Meals and other activities center around the main building:


We're here for one more night, and then we'll get back on toutou and continue the road trip...the weather is still unsettled, and we are discussing heading south to New Mexico, but we'll see....
