    Default Hot springs Village Arkansas to Durango Colorado

    Rode to Queen Wilhelmina Lodge in western Ar Thursday afternoon. Departed the lodge about 6:15 am and rode up thru eastern Ok then did expressways till we got passed Tulsa. We were going to overnight in Alva Ok but pushed on to Meade Kansas. Tomorrow, departing around 6:30 am for someplace in the Colorado Rockies tomorrow night. Spyder performed great! Pulling the 622 fully loaded, frunk loaded as well as saddle bags and trunk. We got anywhere from 35 mpg down to 30 mpg. The low number was doing 78 mph with a 25 mph head wind.

    According to the header on his post it looks to be Durango. Been a looooong time since I've been to Colorado............maybe a good Spyder trip next summer!
    On the road again...........and forever young!

    If you can, take the Durango to Silverton train trip when you get to Durango. Really a nice scenic ride.

    Default Wave at the Red RT-S headed East as you go West...

    My wife is headed down to Liberal, KS tomorrow morning so you may pass if you're on Highway 54 or 160 out in SW Kansas. Safe travels!!
