I'm glad you're going to make it Thirdacre! Lake City is south of Herb's place though, so unless you want a roundabout tour of Utah, your best route from AZ is through Pagosa Springs and over Wolf Creek Pass to South Fork, then northwest through Creede to Lake City. If Google Maps or someone tries to tell you to take Hwy 550 north through Silverton and then over the mountains to Lake City, DON'T BELIEVE THEM! Some maps label it as nothing more treacherous than a "scenic byway" (and that's technically what it is), but it is a 4WD high clearance only road for OHV's. Trailers aren't allowed. If you're in a 4x4 truck without a trailer you could make it, but I wouldn't recommend it for your goats. It's a very rough road and takes as long or longer than going the roundabout way on the pavement.
