Gila Hot Springs and cliff dwelling.
From the flat, fairly bleak interstate south of Albuquerque, we went west into the high elevation pine forests. Very gorgeous country with very narrow, winding roads to contrast the four-lane speedways. Quaint little towns where everyone on the road waves at you (or was something hanging off the camper!). Lots of really nice, free, forest service campgrounds, especially around Gila Hotsprings. Waterfront campsites, stunning cliffs, nobody around. Checked out the cliff dwellings at the National Monument, and took lots of pictures. Harley even found a sign or two to pose on! Followed another very winding road out to Silver City. Would have stayed up in the high country, but the beer supply had run out. Watched a lousy hockey game last nite where the Leafs blew their 3 - nothing first period lead and lost the game 4-3 :-(
Sounds like lots of snow back home (where it belongs), and now some colder temps.
Harley was keeping a very close eye on the water level when we forded the river!
