This is now blog part three out of eight on my family vacation in June. So here we are stuck at the gas station. My mom hurried inside and asked a lady if there was anything they had in the station that maybe could help get our car unlocked. Luckily this gas station was a Loves and had workers who work on big trucks when needed. A nice worker man had a kit to try and open up doors. He took what looked like a blood pressure cuff and wedged it between the door and pumped it up which then made enough of a gap for him to stick a clothes hanger into the door and hit the unlock button. Thankfully that worked and we were able to get into our car. We then continued our journey to New Mexico. We arrived at White Sands National Park in New Mexico at 6:15pm. We explored the sands and took lots of pictures on my Canon camera. We even went and bought a swimming pool from the dollar store and slid down the sand dunes (it did not go completely as planned). After that failed we just rolled them down. Needless to say we had to wipe off a bunch of sand before getting back in the car. After that we drove for a while in the direction of Silverton, Colorado. It was a super long drive. We ended up staying in a hotel a little over half way there and sleeping in until about 9:00am the next morning. We then continued the drive to Silverton. We first stopped at Durango, Colorado but didn’t see a lot we wanted to do so we drove the 30 minutes down the road to Silverton. I am not a fan of heights, especially snowy mountains. When we got to Silverton it was a little old western town. Nothing modernized. It was about ¾ the size of Lake City, maybe even a bit smaller. Buildings side by side everything within walking distance. The closest grocery store in Durango and they had to stock up for months due to the fact they will get 6-8feet of snow on the roads. In the middle of a snowy Colorado mountain.
