Jemez Caravan


The gang got together for the breakfast buffet at the Sandia Casino to fuel up (us, not the cars) for the caravan through the Jemez to Santa Fe and Madrid. In spite of the heavy rain the day before the weather cooperated and we managed to not get wet. The gray skies also seemed to make the leaves even more colorful. We drove through the Jemez stopping a couple of times for pictures and of course at the Valle Grande. Mike Rothman even did a little dance for the rest of us. When we hit White Rock, Lori called Mike Ragsdale and he and his wife invited us to their house for burgers and hot dogs for lunch. They had plenty left over from the previous weeks get together that suffered from rain. We then came back to Albuquerque via NM14 passing through the Ortiz Mountains and Madrid. Madrid was full of tourists so we just passed through. All in all a very enjoyable and beautiful drive.
