Today was compromised of a little bit of highway, a few towns time forgot, and two great sections of road. Jammed in there were a shit load of harleys. It being a holiday weekend it seems like every harley in new Mexico was within a 100 miles of us.
The day started cool but soon enough warmed up and then got cold again as we neared 9000 feet. Then as we got close to Taos the temperature jumped up to blast furnace level. Luckily for us Trip grabbed some febreze yesterday. It’s already half gone.
Today was the first time in days we have actually seen water in a river bed..I think they call those rivers but can’t be sure.
The turns at the end of the day were badass. We dove into green valleys and climbed beautiful rocky cliffs. The geography really takes your breath away. One of the most amazing moments came when after gaining an impressive amount of elevation, the road reached it’s highest point and in front of us was a giant valley with a huge scar shaped gash cut into it. It was one of those holy shit moments.
Today was a good day and we’re looking forward to more.
