Road Stories...Jim & SueZ, New Mexico

Guess what? This is the Rio Grande!
We discovered it while driving to Taos.
We shivered as the river rafters told us the water temp was as close to freezing as it could get without being ice.

We arrived in Taos on Sunday morning as bells were ringing for Sunday services at the mission style church near the main plaza.

We window shopped and walked and strolled and had a fine old time until it was time for brunch and a spicy bloody mary.and a glass of wine...

Do you notice how all our pictures have alcohol in them?
Then on to the Wild River N.R.A. where the Red River and the Rio Grande have carved out a mini Grande Canyon. Very dramatic! We camped, perched, right on the edge of the canyon.

Today we made it to Southern Colorado, to South Fork, where we are camped on the very edge of the Rio Grande river. Beautiful, no? However, they had a blizzard here this morning! And the wind!!! Holy toledo, never have we driven thru such horrible wind! Muy chilly!

In a few days we will drive up to see Toni & Paul on the edge of Rocky Mt. Nat'l Park...where the roads may still be closed due to snow!!!!
