We stopped for lunch and a brew in Telluride. I don't have any pics to show.
Vinny led us on a amaznig ride out of Telluride up by the small airport; it was beautiful!
Time and Temp (time was still Central time).
Sam and I strike a pose:
Maybe Sam or Vinny will add some commentary....

Well, now I have a surprise. I forgot I had more pics on a small point and shoot.
So, now we go back to day 1 for more the story.
Here's where we spent our first night about 20 miles west of Pagosa Springs. It was a privately owned residence and Sam knew someone who knew the owner. We packed up and left our trucks there for the week.
Sam and Vinny studying the menu:
We headed west on hwy 160 and went north at Bayfield on hwy 501. Vinny wanted to see if we could go around and north of Vallecito Reservoir, shown here:
This points was about as far north as we got. The trail on the map was not marked well. It turned out to be a hiking trail:

We did not find any route around the Vallectio reservior. We decided to ride to Telluride. On the way we saw rain and pulled over here to put on rain gear:
We arrived in Telluride just in time to eat lunch - and avoid a light rain:

Vinny continues to take us to some amazing places. I am pretty sure this was the best offroad riding I have ever done, mainly due to the views:
On a past trip Vinny was able to get to the closed mine in this pic. But today it was blocked by a gate:
We saw very few people in this area.

We head back down to set up camp:
We then blasted into town for a burger and a beer. This pic shows up earlier in the ride report. It is my last pic of the day:
and that's pretty much the end of our first full day of riding, 3 weeks ago today, Sunday July 27. Many thanks to Vinny for the tour guide work!

Love that country! Great report, too. 
Thanks for the ride report guys.... Now I want to go.....
Great reports. Just can't beat those areas.
The reason my pics got a little out of order is that my little Poin and Shoot Camera broke, so I started taking all my pics using my iPhone.
The is the corner where I dropped my bike (shown in a pic above that Vinny took):
