"I think that New Mexico was the greatest experience from the outside world that I ever had.
It certainly changed me forever ... The moment I saw the brilliant proud morning (sun) shine high up over the deserts of Santa Fe,
something stood still in my soul."

Homeward bound through Southern Colorado
Last weekend we returned to New Mexico on Hwy. 285 all the way from Denver to Santa Fe. This was BY FAR a more scenic route than Interstate 25. Here are some pictures we took of the scenery along the way:
I took me a couple of months after I hit the road (when I retired and bought the RV) to realize I was doing it all wrong... and that the two-lane highways were where it was REALLY at. It was hard to shake that ol' Type A behavior... the kind that tells you make as many miles as you can in a single day and all that.
That said... I've been up and down 285 a lot, LOL! Great pics!
verif-word: cowdaye, which is every day on those two-lane roads!

Amazing drive! I haven't been this route. It takes so long to get out of Colorado from Denver - you might as well enjoy all of the scenery!
