<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 2189819, member: 16948&quot;]I hope you don’t mind, but this year’s ANA Summer Seminar report will be a little expanded since it will also include photos of my road trip to and from Colorado.&nbsp; So grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, jack, scotch, etc., get comfy, and hopefully you will enjoy my photo-intensive journey to and from the Summer Seminar.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I was planning this year’s trip to the ANA Coin Camp, instead of catching the usual flight through Denver to Colorado Springs, I decided I&#039;d like to see some of the beautiful country along the way and thought about driving there.&nbsp; However, it’s not as fun (nor safe) to drive that far by yourself and I knew that Rick Snow and his friend Bruce usually drove from Tucson to Colorado Springs.&nbsp; So I asked him if he would mind if I rode/drove with them.&nbsp; Rick said Bruce wasn’t going this year and he would welcome the company.&nbsp; I’m about a 7-hour drive to Tucson so I found it easier and not that expensive to fly to Phoenix where Rick picked me up, so that’s where our road trip began.</p><p><br /></p><p>We left Phoenix Thursday morning with a goal of reaching Durango, Colorado, by that evening.&nbsp; Here are photos of some of the sites we saw along the way…</p><p><br /></p><p>We went through Winslow, Arizona, and we happened to find a street corner, and, you all know how the Eagles song goes .... &quot;Well, I&#039;m a standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, and such a fine sight to see.&nbsp; It&#039;s a girl, my Lord, in a [2006] Ford slowin&#039; down to take a look at me .....&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1406_zpsuhk4ke2k.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1432_zpsbro0j9rz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1409_zpskuhlyqof.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1414_zpsburkpoha.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>We also went to Four Corners (Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and Colorado), and I just had to do the touristy thing and do the usual pose so I was in all four states at one time! The last time I was there was about 10 years ago with the boys (back when they didn&#039;t charge you to get in).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1420_zpsqqppawn3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1417_zpsumufucbt.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1422_zpsdlqlvtfy.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Soon we were out of the gold, tan and orange desert terrain and driving through the more lush green surroundings of beautiful Colorado.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1425_zpspzwb0v76.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Once in Durango, we found a very cute pub to have dinner – the dining room was down in the basement</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1442_zpsmb5bzlig.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1428_zpsidmdtubj.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1429_zpscz15wyfz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then we walked around the gorgeous town of Durango and checked out the various shops, including an art gallery that had this iconic photo for sale and some typical western gear.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1433_zpswxy6bmct.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1435_zpsidrroaai.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The next day, we continued our trek to Colorado Springs.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1458_zpsrpuunwqx.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>We stopped briefly in historic Silverton.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1469_zps82gtybxv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1462_zps9n7y6irx.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1464_zpssgrdnuqk.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1476_zpsnv7xuvhv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2015%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_1481_zpsuawrrlra.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
