It has been several years since we camped in Durango but I have to share a story. We got up on a very chilly early June morning after sleeping in a tent and went to a local restaurant for breakfast. I ordered the short stack of hotcakes. The waitress brought out a six inch high stack of pancakes as big as pizzas! I asked her, "this is the short stack?" She replied, "you're in Durango honey".
That brought a loud chuckle form the few people in the restaurant followed by a trucker saying "that little fellah ain't gona eat all them". He was right, I ate 1/2 of 1 pancake. We figured that it was a slow morning and hey decided to use up the batter. It still puts a smile on my face thinking about it. You don't get these memories in a hotel!
