Off the grid.


Hi all
Back out of the high mountain back woods of New Mexico.
Sugarite Canyon State Park and it is back up in a canyon with no cell, data, tv or radio.
Does make us appreciate today’s connectivity and instant information.
After Alamogordo we went to Santa Rosa State Park near Santa Rosa, NM.
Just one night and it was very nice.

Sunrise was great.

Next day up to Sugarite Canyon.
Settled in and enjoyed a nice meatloaf, potatoes and grilled veggies.
Next day we drove up to Caputin Volcano National Monument.

Drove up and over the mountains and had snow, did not stick to the road.
Herd of Elk, just a lousy photo.,

The Monument was interesting, however the wind and weather drove us of the rim.

So we moved on to Raton, NM for some shopping, fuel and Mexican food.
Heavy snow, so we had to move on quickly to get back up to camp.


Road was slushy, but not freezing, 4 wheel drive just for safety on the steep road.


Took our time getting ready to move this morning while waiting for it to warm up above freezing.

Took a drive up the canyon to Colorado. 
Road turned to gravel and after all the snow it was more mud than gravel. 
Turned around and stopped by the lake there and got a few photos.



Back to the BWB and got packed up and ready to travel.
The boys doing what they do best.

Had a very nice drive on the road to San Isabel, CO.
Up to over 9000 feet and snowing the whole way.
Roads only wet and there was little traffic.

Was slow but scenic, even though we could not see very far.
The snow on the trees and in the valleys. Just enjoyable.
Now we are at the Royal Gorge KOA for a few days.

Will do some sightseeing and checking out the area.
Not sure what other than Royal Gorge, so some mystery is still in our lives.

Make your day great
Tom and Millie
