Cheryl was in San Diego with her sister Julie for a "Sisters Weekend", which ended up being the whole week.
It was August in Texas and day after day in the high 90's - 100's. So I decided to jump in the van and run over to northern New Mexico and southern Colorado to try and find some cooler temps.
This was just a quick trip of four and a half days to get out of the house and enjoy some lower temperatures, which by the way I got rewarded with a 43 degree morning in Gunnison, Colorado.
Part One & Part Two include some photos I took on my loop through NM & CO.
Part Two highlights include:
