Yeah.... I almost forgot. Durango was another rally that I would go to every year. The ride from Durango to Ourey was always on the top of my list. Well, I guess Silverton to Ourey is the Million Dollar Highway.
I remember one year, me and a group of friends left Durango about 6 in the morning to head to Ourey. I had an Ultra Classic Electra Glide at the time. One of my friends handed me a CD and told me to put it in my CD player when we started on the Million Dollar Highway. So, as we passed Silverton, I put it in and cranked the volume up. I did not know what was on the CD. Well, it was of all things.... Mozart. LOL I have never been a classical music afficionado, but what the heck... I decided to let it play. It turned out to be one of the most surreal experiences of my life. Riding through the most beautiful mountain pass ever as the sun was rising jammin to Mozart.
