Pictures from the bike trip

We've been planing a motorcycle trip through NM and CO for over a year. After months of anticipation, we finally got rolling on Wednesday. Roger, Garett, and Kevin drove across country in about a day and a half and the rest of the crew flew in on Tues. I rode down to Espanola to meet them and then we rode north to Chama and on to Pagosa Springs for the night. Lots of good times and I did about 875 miles and the rest did over 1000.

Our big motorcycle trip is over. 875 miles and a lot of good times behind us.

A fine day in June

We woke this morning wondering if it was June or December. Snow on the cars and mountains. Life at 8000 ft. I guess.....

Owww

A good day

We started the day chasing the train up the pass through the snow. It was opening day and there was a big crowd to see off the first train of the season. When we got to the top of the pass there was about 3ft. of fresh snow on the tracks so we weren't sure if the train would make it up and over to the other side.










From train chasing we headed south to Plaza Blanca to take Nana & Grampy to do some exploring. Mom stayed home and painted the bathroom floor. We had a nice adventure and got back home at 10pm. A good day......

Quinn's Visit (pix)

Quinn came over for the weekend and we set off on an adventure this morning. We spent most of the day "Turkey Hunting" as the season ends tomorrow and I still don't have a bird. We did a lot of other things and never even saw any birds until the end of the day. I spotted 4 at about a 1/2 mile away and shortly afterward Quinn saw 4 more that were all hens. No bird for the table, but we had a lot of fun.
