Hot Steam

We arrived in Pagosa Springs area on Thursday Oct 4^th.  We decided to stay at a  little RV Park recommended by our friends Jim and Liz.  We were not disappointed.  It was nestled on the Rio Blanca with full assortment of chickens, a pair of turkeys, and some pet ducks.  What a friendly and cozy place.   Friday night my daughter Emily and hubby JR meet us at the homestead.  We had a cook out and spent the night around a roaring campfire.   Perfect fall night!

Ok, all you Fall addicts you know what I am talking about - what we crave! Fall color in all its glory!  Jack and I spent the next four days taking some beautiful drives and walks.  I just love this area and even more so in autumn.   Everything a fall addict needs.  Oh, and don’t forget the hot springs!

Next it was our intention to head home for some commitments.   We stopped for lunch in Chama and decided we had a few extra days and stayed.  We took the famed Combres and Toltec narrow gauge steam engine train ride.  It does not disappoint and was spectacular with autumn color.  It was a little past peak but still enough color to please.  Chama is always charming and one of my favorite places to take a weekend jaunt in NM. 

We arrived home on Wednesday and spent the next few days closing down the house for the winter.  Jack did most of the work ;)   We plan on hitting the road again in a few days.
