Side Trip to Santa Fe ??

Hi All,

It was too windy and rainy for balloons today so we headed for Santa Fe, about 60 miles north. Instead of the interstate, we took a scenic byway called the "Turquoise Trail". Along the way, we stopped at the little town of Madrid, a former coaling mining town now taken over by about 250 hippie artists and crafts people. It is a delightful, funky town with a mining museum and great shops. We spent the whole day here, Santa Fe will have to wait for another trip ;-).

Ancient petroglyph section

Thoughtful resting spot for guys

Best looking Trash Truck We've ever seen

Most of the buildings are barely hanging on

How about a 7' Cowgirl

Rail Car from the Coal Mines

Museum in nearby Cerrillos-note the insulators lining the roof

Tomorrow we head back towards Arizona for our volunteer assignment.

Love,
