Sunday Feb. 7

We say goodbye to our friends Jill and Boomer and start our long drive. Bob carefully studied the radar as there were storms warnings heading through Colorado and New Mexico. The route we took was through the San Juan mountains, the picture above does not give them justice. The road led us up passes that were 11000 feet , narrow and often times difficult for 2 cars to pass each other. I was so very happy not to be driving. The scenery was absolutely beautiful with about 1 foot of fresh snow on everything. and signs posted every so many feet warning of avalanche's. If only Aspen and Vail could have 1/2 of the snow these areas have.

We stopped in Gallup New Mexico at a Econo Lodge, not a good value and a bit sketchy. We have been calling ahead and booking site on seen.This was not a good decision on this particular place. Paper thin walls and just a strange feel about the place. We depart early on Monday to complete our trip to Florence for a short stay then on to Tucson. I will have limited access to the Internet, so I am no going be able to report anything that I think is blogger worthy.
