OK, I'm back and , as promised, here are some pix. I only made it about 30 miles up 145 to Telluride when I noticed the turn off to Dunton - famous for it's hot springs back in the day but now privately owned. I have boycotted that road for years, but for some reason, I decided to turn off on it and check it out. WOW!
The road follows the West Dolores River as it cascades down from high mountains covered with aspen. I checked out a couple of Forest Service "official" campgrounds and was not impressed. I wanted to get up HIGH! So, I did. Had to put the truck in 4WD for the last few miles before I came across a fantastic campsite I had all to myself.
