Santa fe

That’s it for Santa Fe. It has been a busy time here, five jobs in three weeks, but three weeks in Santa Fe is not enough. I want more. Still more donkey cart path streets to explore. Old Santa Fe Trail Road. Old Pecos Trail Road. They intertwine.

But time to move on. Colorado here we come. Here we come, right at the same time as a change in the weather. Had the exit conference at eleven am. Back to the coach for lunch at noon. Packed up and gone by one, just as the wind and rain were setting in. We decided to drive north over Raton Pass, before the weather got cold enough to snow on us and strand us on the south side of the pass. The rain changed to freezing rain, but we made it over the pass before the roads got too slippery. Headed for Lathrop State Park west of Walsenburg. We always head for Lathrop State Park whenever we get in the neighborhood.

Hunkered down for a cold night. We have reservations at Chatfield State Park in Littleton tomorrow night, but now it’s a skating rink out there. Freezing rain. Freezing fog. Lots of roads closed. It was too slippery to go for a run outside in the dark tonight, so I ran laps inside the motorhome.

We’ll have to see what weather tomorrow brings.
