Wild Ride to Santa Fe

We rode out of Colorado thru Mesa Verde & San Juan Mountains. Stopping in Durango , where we shipped the rest of our camping supplies and enjoyed the historic downtown. We then rode thru several different Indian Reservations. When we got to Aztec,NM we hit rain & wind for a bit then just gusty winds! Needed to hold onto the face shield so I didn't go airborne! We were able to enjoy the Sandia mountains as we approached Albuquerque,NM and onto Santa Fe.It was also surprisingly cold which we did not expect.Our sweatshirts & rain gear kept us toasty. We were pretty worn out by the time we reached Santa Fe. We were able to rest a bit, then met up with an old friend from CT, Jeanne Webb,who now lives in the area. Had a wonderful dinner and visit near the plaza. We will explore this area & Taos tomorrow.
