National Forests of New Mexico

Wednesday morning we woke up in time to catch some breakfast and a swim.  From there we packed up and headed to meet Liz's friend Viki for lunch.  It was such a beautiful day our we took Boo for a walk at a park.  Then we drove to Old Town Albuquerque and had a stroll around.  There was lots of vendors with amazing handcrafted jewelry.  We stopped at a church that was built in the 1790s.

After that we got back on the road and waved goodbye to 'Querque.  We took a scenic drive through the Carson National Forest to a campsite outside of Jemez Springs.  Watched the sunset over the mountain and called it an early night.

Thursday we continued along the scenic byway until Santa Fe.  Just a short drive through the city and then up to the Santa Fe National Forest.  After a treacherous 16 mile winding road we came to our home for the night.  Just past the cities of Pecos and Terrero we came to the Mora campsite.

After getting settled and eating some sandwiches we took a short walk.  However short it was I still managed to dunk one foot, shoe included, into the river.  That's when it was time to head back and start a fire.

Today we got on the road rather early.  Mostly because we were cold and wanted the heat from the van.  So now it's time to get deeper into Colorado.  At the moment our Picasa album is full.  Until we can shuffle some data we can't upload photos into the blog.  Here is a link to another album.
