I did not sleep all that well, but we were up at 07:00. Gary fixed us a lovely breakfast and we chatted a bit more. After I threw the ball to Aspen for a while, we got on the road about 10:00. The weather was fine and we had a great drive west from Taos, over the pass (at 10,500 ft elev), where there was lots of snow on the ground. We stopped in Chama at Rio Chama Espresso (right beside the Cumbres and Toltec Railroad depot) for coffee and lunch; excellent. Then, it was onto Pagosa Springs, Durango and, eventually, Moab, where we checked into the River Canyon Lodge at 16:45. After a refreshing shower, we went to dinner at Sultan Mediterranean Grill for an excellent, light dinner. The Astros have the night off, so we were early in bed.
