Early this morning, sometime between 4am and 6:30am, our water line froze - went to flush the toilet and voila - no water. Dave was able to get the water going again and we decided this morning that we will move a day early to get to warmer weather. Forecast for last night was only to dip to 31 but at 4am the temp was 25, and dropping. Way too cold for us.
Tomorrow we leave Eagle Nest and travel towards Taos and then drop down past Santa Fe and Albuquerque and about 100 miles more south of that to a small town called San Antonio. Not Texas but New Mexico. Some things we want to see before making the final swing westbound to Arizona for the winter.
Eagle Nest, Angel Fire, Red River - all beautiful Alpine like communities, and they all look the part - huge ski resorts and lodges, sporting goods stores that sell ski boards and ski equipment, beer halls and restaurants, lots of chalets. Everywhere you look is mountains and pine trees, some tundra further up the mountains. Ski Lodges abundant so I know they get a lot of snow. Very high elevation - all three above 8000 feet. Our problem with being here - a tidge too far for 'normal' comforts like family and friends, hospital, getting to an airport, chain stores if we need to do shopping, etc. Way too far away from most things. Would we come back here? No. As the saying goes - been there, done that. Nice that we visited and saw what this was all about but like most of our trip this summer - if we never come back, that's okay with us.
