March 20-27 Breaking the Covid bonds! New Mexico here we come.

 Leaving the Springtime in LA with our flowers blooming.  Since the trip is over, I am going to do things a little differently.  Instead of a day by day blog, I am going to group things and make comments.












We are going to Taos Ski Valley where last week they had 30 inches of snow.

We left CA at 10:30 Saturday night and drove through.  Since most of the route looks like this:



Or for real excitement - notice the train.  I saw one with 3 locomotives in front and two in the rear.  

What I am saying is that you don't miss much while driving at night.

Part of the time I rode in the front seat with Alec to talk to him so he would stay awake.  Jef slept until it was her turn to drive.

Unfortunately, they had to do all the driving.  We rented a HUGE SUV which I started calling the Titanic - maybe Ever Given.  Calder is too young to drive a rental and I couldn't see over the steering wheels.


Even with it being so big, we still barely fit with all of our stuff.

We looked like hoarders.   

Yoshi was a trooper.  He had never been on a long trip before so we didn’t know what to expect.  The first stop he looked around, but had to be lifted out of his space.  The second time he was up like a shot and pushed by me to get out the door.  Another time he started barking, so we thought he was signaling that he needed out.

We stopped in Gallop for breakfast at the aptly named Railway Café.  The railroad was right across the street.
