Change of plans….

I left Taos, New Mexico early this morning as it’s supposed to get windy this afternoon.  Looking at the weather it looks like I will miss any snow that they are predicting in surrounding areas.  I want to hit the Four Corners Monument, and then go over to the Wave in Utah.  After that I will head to Arizona.  On my way out of town I saw this, a rainbow!

About 50 miles in it started to sprinkle, no big deal.  Well I climbed a mountain and the weather changes, it changed to sleet.  I kept driving for a few more mile.  Then it was staying on the roads and I realized it was a lot colder.  Well, as much as I wanted to see those two locations, it’s not worth the risk.  So I turned around.  When I got back to Taos the winds had picked up like the forecast had said.  By now I’ve done 111 miles, so I decided to check back into the hotel I was in last night.  I will regroup and figure out where to go and take off in the morning!

I stopped and took a couple of pictures of the scenery, so beautiful!

I passed a community that re-uses and recycles everything.  I took a few pictures of the homes, very unique.  Check out all the bottles/cans.  They go by Earthship Biotecture.
