New Mexico is not our cup of tea. I know many people just love it here but to us it looks like a huge grown up abandoned construction site. I could envision giants with huge earthmoving equipment plowing around then giving up their endeavor due to lack of government funds. I think we should have left this to the indians. No one lives out here anyhow.
We spent last night at Santa Rosa State Park. It was ok but not as picturesque as the others. The cost was right at $14.00 with water and electric. There were also some loud campers nearby that didn't seem to be able to talk at less than a roar. We didn't see a park employee until just before we left in the morning.
Santa Fe was a disappointment also. I envisioned alpine forests on the mountains with a quaint city set back in time. Instead it was more of the same dirt and brush and hustle and bustle. It was even difficult to find a place to pull over with a MH. We just didn't like it. We decided to continue on north on route 84 to Chama. We aren't much into the arts and cultural scene. Too many earth spirit things going on around here and it didn't have a good feel at all.
As we got farther north the landscape changed to a more appealing alpine scene along with some colorful rocks. We climbed some pretty steep grades but our mighty 454 took us to the top with little strain. It is going down the other side that gets interesting.
We are camped at Rio Chama RV Park in Chama, NM. It is a nice shady park. We have wifi too. Darlie cooked up a huge meal and we ate outside at a picnic table. It is actually cool out there tonight. We welcome that. We are on mountain time now. It is only 7:35PM and both of us are ready for bed. Tonight we have an old guy next door that is hacking and coughing pretty bad. The joys of RV living.
Tomorrow we head for Durango, CO. We are thinking about taking the Durango-Silverton narrow gauge train and trail ride. I am not sure about bouncing around on a horse's back with hemorrhoids though. That's all for now. We will post again when we can. Love you guys. Did I tell you Darlie has been doing some of the driving?
