June 27, 2014 A Scenic Day

It was a nice still morning with the temperature about 52. We had  a good fire going and sat outside for quite awhile.  After breakfast we took Maggie for a walk. We decided to take a drive north of Chama into the higher mountains .  It turned out to be an absolute gorgeous drive. The road runs beside the Chama train for quite a ways. We crossed two passes over 10,000 ft. We thought we might do some hiking but we were not prepared for the cold. It only got to 55 with a brisk wind. We found two different forest service campgrounds which we could boondock. Later we found a campground on the Conejos River which we liked. We stopped and talked to the owners for about 30 minutes. Really nice people. We may come back and spend the summer here one year. We headed back to Chama and got some lunch and did the shopping thing. They had a little Territorial Days  set up with booths sharing the old traditions. I didn’t stay around for the hanging as we headed home to chill out the rest of the day.
