Santa Fe, NM to Bayfield, CO

On US 84 a few miles south of Pagosa Springs, CO

Travel day today.  We took the scenic route, US 84, from Santa Fe to Pagosa Springs, CO (and crossing the continental divide).  From there we travel west along US 160 to Bayfield, CO.  We're now in the Pine Riverside RV Park just west of Bayfield.  We're looking forward to sightseeing for the next week to include a chuck wagon cookout and a ride on the Durango to Silverton train.  Here's some sights we saw along the way, today.

Leaving Santa Fe, a lot of the land looked similar to Badlands Natl Park.  This picture and the next one are just north of Santa Fe (and the casinos) on US 84.

What I started doing was holding the phone up as we would crest a hill.  As soon as we topped the hill, I'd snap a shot.  Once we got settled in at the campground and could get the pictures up on a computer so I could get a good look at what we got, I culled out the best ones.  Got a lot of pictures of the truck's antenna, hood, and our trailer tire pressure monitor.  But every once in a while, a good one came up.  

Chimney Rock - just west of Pagosa Springs, CO

Photos are great, but it's the friends that make everything worth while.  I got an email from Ivan who talked about what we were doing and getting us up to date on the happenings back east.  In one thought, Ivan was talking about how his son was taking to water and they were anticipating a lot of time at the pool this summer.  As I was reading that email, we passed a sign that stated, "Come on in.  The water is fine!"  What made the sign interesting was that it had a guy standing in the river fly fishing.  You see, Ivan loves fly fishing.  Donna checked the water, Ivan.  She said it was fine.  Come on in!
