The 2006 Travels of Richard n Shirley

We arrived here in shorts and short sleeve shirts. We should have been in jeans and long sleeve or had a jacket. That wind was cold for 72. DW got so cold we had to get in the car to ecsape the wind. We did do some window shopping, visited a few stores and saw the ski lift. Not much wind but it was chilly.
Up and down the street was quiet. Not alot of traffic for a thursday. Not many shoppers here either. The rv parking along the way was pretty full. Here is a place you can park and get a good nights sleep at a probable upper 30's. Check out the rates at the national forest campground before you come.


This lift is in operation ferring visitors up and down the slope. When I did ski many years ago, I did not come down steep slopes like this. We Texans get to ski once a year usually during spring break.


This is visitor/tourist pedal power mode of transportation. An easy way to see the town slowely. Red River is about 3 blocks wide by a mile long. Not big but very pretty nestled in the valley. And there are some specticular homes in the mountains. More later.


Looking the way we came in and all the traffic. There is a zillion condos here and some are for sale. We drove on to Angel Fire and around to Taos where we begain. if you like cool weather then this is the place to be. There are lots of rv camping and commerical campgrounds along the way. Angel Fire has several and is probably the coolest. The rates I remember were in the low $300 range per month. We saw vacancies but not many.
