May 15: From Bosque del Apache we drove about 2 hours to Santa Fe. We set up on the grounds of Elks Lodge #460, about 10 min from downtown. We grocery shopped at Smith’s and that was about it. Diesel was $4.49.
Vic was still getting over altitude sickness so we didn’t go into town. Luckily for me I was there several years ago with Geri and Charlotte. I would have enjoyed seeing it again and have to admit I was disappointed but that’s the way it goes.
Antonito, Colorado
Yesterday we came to Canon Bonito RV Park and Fisherman’s Club. What a gem this place is. Huge lots spaced far apart. Green leafed out trees everywhere. It’s popular with fishermen but the season starts after Memorial Day so it’s pretty quiet.
We decided to ride around and see the area. We saw a lot of broken down and abandoned buildings. The town has a post office, a police station, a social services center, 2 restaurants (both Mexican-American food) and 3 marijuana dispensaries. Remember marijuana is legal here. Half the buildings on Main St are boarded up. I don’t know how these people are surviving.
We picked up dinner from one of the restaurants. It was the best quesadillas I ever had. Go figure.
Today we go to Creede, Colorado.
