We are leaving a week early to move to Albuquerque for a month, well, now 5 weeks. We decided to make a final circle and go to Antonito, Colorado, and drive the canyon to Chama, New Mexico, where the narrow guage train runs in the summer time. We wanted to ride the train, but decided we could make a circle and see more. It was an absolutely beautiful trip. The weather was perfect, it rained ahead of us and around us, but we didn't get in much rain. It took a little over 7 hours with a few short sight seeing stops. We went to Eagle Nest, New Mexico, for dinner at the Boardwalk Steakhouse again. Very good and left overs for tomorrow.
Here are a few photos to tempt you to look at the rest on
my Picasa albums. I put a map where we went with the photos. I hope you like them.

We should leave here on Tuesday. There won't be too much posting until we get settled in Albuquerque. See you down the road.

Beautiful images Jo. You're so lucky to be able to wander around like this.
Jeanette, Thank you. You are so right. We have been to every state except Alaska! We also traveled most of South America and Canada. We haven't been to Europe or Asia, but we have visited most of the Western Hemisphere. Pretty cool.
Wow. That top photo has enough emotional power to be a painting already....or a prize-winning photo.
Great photos, Mom.
Hi Nancy, thank you. Most of my photos are taken out the car window as we go by so are "happy accidents". :)
Thank you, Joanna, daughter. Hugs.
Beautiful pictures, Jo! I wish I was there to enjoy the view in person.
Thanks, Valerie. Wish you could be here, too, and we could meet in person!
Beautiful photos Jo!!
Paula
I've enjoyed your Northern NM stay and hate to see you leave. Alb will be lots of fun - be sure and hit the State Fair and eat a turkey leg.
What great photos - beautiful clouds, beautiful river! sigh.
Paula, hi! The river photo suits your style, eh? I thought we would have a few more fall colors but not yet. After we get to ABQ we can go up in the mountains for the aspens. :)
Bag Blog, thank you. I know you have fond memories up here. I hope we get to the fair grounds but I don't do turkey (or other birds)! I would be looking for fry bread if I could eat it. :)
Regina, thank you. I always think of you and your cloud paintings. :)
Photos are wonderful... makes me want to hit the road (or runway would be better!)
Hi there Teresa, thank you so much. We will miss the extra cool mornings in northern NM. We are in Albuquerque now for the last month here. Wish you could be here while we are, would love to meet you!
