Day 5 - South Fork, CO

Started the morning with a cup of coffee and a book. Ok, it wasn't a book. It was an iPad with a book. Currently on page 1198 of 3779, so I have a ways to go.

Went out for breakfast at a little place in town. Hostess needs a lesson or two in customer service and she might check Amazon for a sense of humor. But, the breakfast sandwiches, coffee and rest of the staff were good so it gets a B+.

Back in the car we headed up highway 149 to Creede. This is the Silver Thread Highway and for 24 miles we followed along side and over the Rio Grande River. Sceney was great; mostly ranches, cattle and expensive looking homes.

Creede is a neat place to visit. A old mining town with about 400 hardy souls living a 9,000 feet. After a little shopping at San Juan Sports and two fly shops we headed for lunch at Kip's. Sitting outside we were joined by a friend of Frank's and her sister. It turns out that the sister lives about 120 miles from us in Oregon. Great lunch of tacos and a couple of 2X and it was back to one last stop at San Juan Sports to pick up a shirt for me.

Back at Frank's I started writing this while Barb did some laundry for the next week or so of the trip. Then it was off to dinner with Royce, Elizabeth and a dozen or so friends. Had a good time, which is the reason this is late. Back at the house Frank and I talked for a while, which is another reason this is late.

Tomorrow we are off to Santa Fe for three nights (Barbara and Jim we wish you were joining us). Frank will be with us, so it should be a good time.
