Into New Mexico

Yesterday morning Carol turned on her iPad and it was black. As in totally and completely unresponsive. When she plugged it into her charger in didn’t make the normal “connect” sound so we feared the worst. While there is an Apple store in Durango we left before it opened and returned after it closed. This morning we were there at opening. Turns out she merely let the battery go completely flat. Embarrassing but the best of all the other possibilities.

Today we drove down into New Mexico and then East to Taos. Tomorrow is forecasted to be cloudy with chance of thunderstorms so I’m not sure how much we’ll get to see. Today’s drive also suffered a bit from overcast skies.

There’s a storm across the valley.

In Carson National Forest and still at at 9800’ we passed this lovely lake and campground.

Approaching Taos our route took us over the Rio Grande Gorge bridge. This is one of the Taos area attractions and was already on our list of possible things to do while in Taos so we stopped, walked out onto us and took a few photos. I love this sort of gorge where the surrounding land is absolutely flat and suddenly you’re looking 500’ down at a river. Pretty impressive.

Rio Grande Canyon.
