Left the Class C at home and headed out on my motorcycle {Indian Springfield} last Tuesday to visit my friends in Angel Fire. We get up here several times a year and late September early October is by far the most spectacular time to come. Hard to imagine a more beautiful place on earth than the southern rockies in early fall.
The new Angel Fire RV Resort has a pretty good size crowd but highway 64 up over the pass from Taos is a serious adventure/challenge for the larger rigs. Frankly I don't know how or why some folks do it. :h
The aspens are turning gold as the colder nights arrive with clear sunny days in the 60 -70's. The Elk are on the move, we've had a dozen or more on the property everyday and you can hear them bugling constantly. The wild turkey flocks are on the move along with the deer.
Shotgun Willies in Red River still serves the finest breakfast burrito on earth... stuffed with smoked brisket and smothered in Hatch green chiles sauce.
The ride up was an adventure as I did it in one day... 708 miles. Left Tucson at 0615 and rolled in at 0630 {local time}. It was 97 degrees out on I-40 west of Albuquerque but quickly cooled as the afternoon thunderstorms rolled in. When I finally reached Angel Fire the temp was down to 42 degrees and the rain was turning to hail, small but enough to sting as it began to get seriously dark.
Tomorrow I'll ride home stopping for the night in Deming... a more civilized ride to be sure, mostly boring down I-25 vs the mountain route I took coming up - Tucson to Show Low, east to Quemado and north through the Malpais Refuge to I-40. Deming to home is only 4 hours and I'll get an hour back when crossing into Arizona.
Angel Fire/Taos is an amazing area to explore but be advised they are calling for snow next Friday.
