Two of my favorite things are road trips and Patty Griffin. So when she skipped Utah on her latest tour a road trip was in order. We had been wanting to do a trip through Durango, Silverton, and Ouray for a couple of years and as luck would have it... Patty was playing in Durango.
So on an early Friday morning we set off for the four corners area. Patty wasn't the only item on the agenda but a good start, there weren't any wineries in the area but there was a honey mead store (brought a bottle home for some of you to try), some great hikes, good shopping, and great food. My lastest foodie magazine had a restaraunt in Durango listed as award winning, so we had to try it out (twice :)). We also had a great sweet surprise when there was a cold bottle of bubbly in our room when we arrived. A little gift from our dear sweet Superman, who we couldn't thank enough. On day two we asked a local about a good hike, I think we missed the trailhead he described but we stumbled upon a great hike.. Haviland Lake, wild flowers, turtles, brilliant frogs.
The drive from Durango to Silverton and on to Ouray has got to be one of the prettiest in the country. There is an overlook where you are supposed to be breathing the cleanest air in the country. That po

Hey, so I have to tell you the FUNNIEST thing about your post. I was mistaken as to who you were going to see. I for some reason had it in my head that you hauled your asses all the way to Durango to see KATHY Griffin. :)
WOW !
Sounds wonderful. Even the bitch on the bike.
