Some More Road Trip

CIMG1686Since you all thought the elk was awesome here is another picture of it. Not as cool as the first one but boy did I get you all good. I know, I'm sorry but the first picture looked so real. This "elk" was just a metal cut out on top of a mountain off the road. Now on to the real stuff.

CIMG1475We experienced every season there could possibly be while driving. It started off sunny then went to rain, then snow, then hail, then back to snow, then to rain. It was a very interesting cycle.

Here are some of the twisty roads we traveled and some of the views along the way.

The first picture in the third row is a house that was built atop a small mountain. This was a very common thing to see. I think it would be a really cool place to have a home. The picture right below it is chimney rock. You can just see the tip of it sticking through the fog on the left.

That is all for the pictures of the trip to New Mexico. Tomorrow we finally arrive there!

We experienced that once while riding a motorcycle, we had 80 degrees then a sand storm, then got into higher elevations and had rain, sleet and snow.. Made for an interesting trip. You will find that storms come up very unexpected in the mountains.

We wondered if we could trust you! I can't believe you would do that to us.
These pictures are really gorgeous!

Oh that's mean(about the elk)! He was such a majestic creature!!! The pictures are great, but I know I wouldn't like snow on twisty, curvy roads!

Oh, Oh, Oh!! I'm afraid I have to remind you that Santa is always watching and I'm sure he didn't appreciate that little trick of yours!

I love the pictures. Those mountains sure are beautiful - those roads remind me of Tennessee. I don't like driving in those curvy roads - it's very nerve wracking. I also like that baby fox from your last post. He's so cute.

I knew something was fishy about that picture, elk don't get that big by standing on top of mountains.
