Some times all it takes is to take off down the road for a night. Just a few pics from driving around the back yard, found some snow, drove some new roads and just enjoyed the weekend.

Thanks for this...  looks like it'll likely be a great overnight stopover on my next meandering trip to the Santa Fe area, so I appreciate the tip.

Rico.

Your trip proves you don't have to drive all over the earth to find a good time/spot.

Thanks for the pics.

We tend to push ourselves for longer trips,which are great but we also enjoy the close to home short ones.

^Thanks, it's funny how much you can find close to home when you stop driving by it all the time.
