Today (thurs) was simply business! I needed to get back to Alb, NM. I was in Salida CO and really did not have any real "venues" to visit today. That did NOT mean it was a boring ride! It was just not broken up by side trips. It was ~a 300 mile day and i forced myself to head towards Pagosa Springs CO, as that would send me through some twisties (curved back roads). The ride was quite enjoyable!
here are the last set of pics form the road (i will prob have other pics from my days in NM with Dee and her family, so if you care, stay tuned for them)...

- some clouds rolling over the mountains
- more wildlife (bison)
- one of 3-4 tunnels today
- what more could you want, a winding road through some mountains!

- look closely, you can see at least 3 (but there were 4) Harley Davidson riders taking a rest (bodies in grass, heads on gravel)... They did NOT have the ride that i have had.... why the heck are THEY sooo tired?
- at my LAST gas up!!! i guess that is a smile

- last leg of the trip on the GPS (~115 miles to dee's!)
- erin, thankfully that dog IS chained to the truck, but i STILL think it is too dangerous!
- last venue on the trip (camel back rock in NM)
- a grandfather ans grandson helped take this pick of me (the little boy ~11 was making me laugh!)
