Today we left New Mexico for Colorado. We wanted to make it to Mesa Verde but at 5 PM we were still 100 miles away. We decided to stay in Pagosa Springs instead. Jo Ann needed a hotel fix and we find a nice lodge in a cool town.
Colorado is magnificent. Probably the most spectacular motorcycling in the US. See see mountains on either side of you and fail to realize that the valley you are driving on has an elevation of 7200 feet. Even at 90, the air is cool and crisp. The slightest exertion caused me to feel my heart pumping hard, like a bubble in my chest. They say you get used to it. The bike handled the hills and curves flawlessly. This is what motorcycling is all about!
We drove along the Santa Fe Trail along the Rio Grande, San Luis, and Wolfe Rivers. The air was crisp and the pine smell was intoxicating. The vistas would take away your breath if the altitude didn’t.
Looks beautiful! Glad you got to see that. :) ~Abby
