Early breakfast at the Carver restaurant. Then south on Hwy
550 (the Million Dollar Highway) to Silverton, CO. Amazing ride through
gorgeous country! Stopped to visit a few
shops in Silverton—bought a t-shirt at the World's Highest Harley Store (9313
feet).

Turned onto Hwy 133 over McClure Pass to Redstone, CO where we spent the night at the
Redstone Inn.
Hit the Jackpot!
Got a room and the restaurant was TO. DIE. FOR!
Small town with quaint houses and shops. The beautiful Crystal River runs along the highway and the town is nestled along the opposite side of the river.
199 miles today. Many of them wet! Really, Thank the Lord for safe travels!
