Festivities in Durango

Durango hosts festivals and events just about every weekend during the summer months.  The street was roped off for a multi-grill barbecue.  The photo at the right shows the front of a smoker grill and smoke came out of the mouth.

The back end shows the cooking area.  The cook in the bowler hat below was working another booth.

This cat may have been a remainder of street art that had ponies, cows and pigs as themes.

The patriotic jackass was in front of the Durango Democratic Club.

Athletic and creative young people are attracted to Durango and this truck is an example of their industriousness and independence.This home-made cap was equipped for travel and camping.

This gem of a 60's VW Thing is a rare sight.  The owner spent several years rebuilding it and giving it a new coat of paint.

The VW Thing is a flat-bed vehicle that seemed to have limited production.

Note the clever canvas cap that was added to the back.

 The interior was in like-new condition.
