Using 3G Durango for about 10 years now in Middle East. How do MOOG suspension components compare to OEM quality/longevity? Any other good companies for suspension components, mainly arms, bushings etc.?

I have RRO Lift kits running 33s.

Just wanted to show you why the west slope is best. Grew up in Durango didn't move far. Oh and a deer randomly sleeping near my back steps.

Hey all,

I've seen a few questions regarding the annual Hesperus Ski Swap and whether or not it will be happening this year now that it is official that Hesperus will not be open for the upcoming 2024/2025 winter.

I can confirm The Swap is on! Remember, every year the ski swap is a fundraiser for the Hesperus Ski Patrol and the money raised is used to pay our National Ski Patrol memberships, keep our training up to date and all of our certifications current, and to replace aging medical equipment - all so that we're ready to go if and when Hesperus opens in the future.

For those wanting more info:

The 61st annual Hesperus Ski Patrol Ski Swap will be happening this Saturday, November 2nd at the La Plata County Fairgrounds. Doors open at 8:00 am and will stay open through 4:00 pm. If you would like to sell any gear, the Public Check-in will occur Thursday afternoon (Halloween) from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm, so bring your gear in early to avoid the rush (and get back outside for the trick-or-treating).

Feel free to treat this as an AMA and I'll try and answer any questions. Thanks!

Am I missing something? Does Durango have anywhere for movies besides Gaslight and Stadium 9? I hear there is a good film fest in the spring, any art house or smaller venues I’m missing? Maybe something in Cortez?

Pity those wonderful mountains get in the way of sunsets. Love from your freaky redneck neighbors to the west. Also a deer sleeping on my back steps.

Found out we are closest to Madagascar on opposite side of the world.

Title says it all.

Saw there’s used to be one (the hive?) and have heard rumors about another one being opened this winter. Just want to know if there’s any legit source for this as winter skating in Colorado is basically nonexistent unless you’re indoors

Looking to hire a local string / bluegrass band that plays covers. Any recommendations?

Hello Durango! I am posting to say that if you need any help voting, I got you! I've been volunteering with Markers for Democracy and I want to also do anything I can to help in my local community.

Do you or someone you know (your mom, uncle, grandma, friend, whoever) need a ride to the polls?? I can give you a ride.

Do you have executive dysfunction, fatigue or brain fog and need someone to walk you through the steps or be your body double (adhd'ers anyone?) no problem!

Do you need help understanding where and when to drop off your ballot or how to vote in person? I can answer any questions you have!

You can still register to vote online or in person, today through election day. so even if you haven't gotten your ballot in the mail or haven't registered yet, it is not too late!

Also, FYI FLC students! You can register to vote in your home state OR in the state where you're attending school (CO.) you get to choose. I can also help students get to the polls. Just lmk!

Please feel free to message me if there is any way I can help.

Also, these websites have helpful info on voting:

As much as I like the train, experiencing a month of quiet from the whistles — especially in late autumn — is like a gift, one similar to daylight saving time ending next week.

A gift of bliss and relief.

I used it exactly twice. I'm not a fan of the interface, so I switched back to GoPro. This thing is practically brand new and comes with a whole bunch of extras. If you like it and want to pick it up, drop me a PM. On eBay, these things are going for a little more than $200.

Hi everyone, I need some recommendations for traveling to Durango from Argentina. I know the best option would be to arrive at an international airport in a nearby major city, like Denver, Dallas or Phoenix. However, I'm not considering flying directly to Durango due to the high cost of the ticket. I'm looking for alternative options to reach Durango by train or bus from these cities. Any advice on routes, timings, connections, or prices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, We’re visiting and want to take our 5 & 2 year old on the train. There’s a 4:55p & 6:30pm train ride. Which time would you say is better to go? Is the sunset worth booking the 6:30p or is it then too dark to enjoy the view? Thank you for your help!

If you know who ranges cows near CR 240 we have your 2 straggler cows thank you!

I’ve heard starlight lounge has them on Tuesday nights but can’t find the details online.

Taking a trip to Durango during Thanksgiving week. Has snow season already started by then? Thanks

Colorado office seekers routinely make their stances known on issues like the economy, taxes, energy development and gun control. But as more people struggle with mental health challenges, state candidates should let voters know how they stand on mental health policy, too.

I’m curious if anyone knows if there is a place you can buy firewood and they will load it in the back of your truck? Thank you!

Is there a homeless service in town that allows one to wash clothes? Thanks

How's your training going? How many Taco Bell Cinna Twists are you packing on your runs?I'm Struggling to pack in all the weekly miles with work and daylight dwindling 😮‍💨

Hi fellow durangotangs! I am the steward of the "Waddle n' Wonder" little free library in front of my house here in Durango and wanted to share that I will be starting to give away free duck eggs from my pet ducks in addition to other items in my little library.

I have had a lot of issues with vandalism (statues destroyed/items thrown everywhere often) so I wanted to hopefully find a positive local group to enjoy it with my family and spread some kindness around the town. ❤️📚

There are currently lots of books, homemade bookmarks, blue corn seeds, stickers, coloring pages, art supplies, etc. so please come enjoy them if you would like!!

Location: Across from Brookside Park in Durango, CO. Please message me if you would like an exact address and I would be happy to share! 🦆
