Entomology in Durango


Washing bugs in Durango, Colorado
We wake up early in the Wapiti Lodge in Durango, Colorado.  Wapiti is the correct name for elk.  A threesome of motorcyclists are washing immaculate Harley's next to our parking space.  I decide to join them and wash a week's worth of bugs off my grill.  We collected most of them in Kansas.  The bikers smoke cigars and tenderly rub down chrome and faring with chamois.  They are heading toward the grand canyon tonight.  They came over the Million Dollar Highway last night.  I am grimly aware of the evil of that ride and can't imagine it on a motorcycle in the freezing rain.
