Alpen Rose RV Park, Durango, CO, to KOA, south of Pueblo, CO:  Today started out great.  A nice, sunny day.  We continued east on Rt. 160 through the San Juan Mountains.  We found a place to pull over in Pagosa Springs, CO, one of our favorite towns in Colorado.  Had breakfast in the Rose Restaurant and then Mike took over driving.  Good thing, because we had to drive over Wolf Creek Pass, and just before the summit the truck overheated.  Luckily, we had a large place to pull over.  We had to sit there for well over an hour for the truck to cool down.  Mike had to put a lot of water into the radiator.  Finally, we were able to go on.  I was freaking out.  The only thing that would have made this debacle better would be if David were with us.  Then, David and I could have freaked out together.  Poor Mike.  He continued driving because we still had another pass to go over—La Peta Pass.  We got over that okay and finally made it to our park.  After cleaning and setting up, I made myself a stiff drink.  At least we made it here in one piece.  I think it’s time for a new truck.
