Well we ended up going to the mountains North of Taos. I have never been to any real mountains before. I was like a little kid seeing them. The Amazette Inn bed and breakfast that we stayed in was old and had lots of character. We loved it. The Rio Hondo river ran right behind our room. We went to sleep every night with the window open listening to it. 45 - 78 degree weather. Saw lots of differing terrain. We drove out and came back two different routes. Coming home we drove over the mtns and saw Angelfire and Red River ski resorts. Stunning.
If you ever have the opportunity to go to the Rockies go. On another note, it showed me that I never want to race in Denver. We drove my Wife's Rogue. It was 9280' where we were staying and that thing wouldn't get out of it's own way. LOL Well enough of my rambling. Curtis |

DESTIN FLA....VACATIONS JUST AREN'T LOOOOOOOOG ENOUGH! :cry:

Just got back from Hoopa,Ca. EPIC trip...will write more when I get settled back in.

GREAT TIME in Hoopa,CA ! Drag race, turn, drag race, turn, drag race, turn. STEEP hill, kids ! 8-10% grade, hairpins, short straights, longer straights with hidden jogs, even longer straight with long sweeper and hidden jog ! Brake now ? Not yet, now? not yet... NOW ! Hard hill to wrap your mind around the first time on it.
-1st run, had smoke in the interior, shut down on turn 5, nothing substantial. -2nd run, ran all the way but still checking out the way to the top. 2:52.8-- -3rd run, my alternator quit alternating and ran on an almost dead battery,popping and missing all the way. 2:51.--- -4th run, getting real comfy with the hill and turned up the wick to a 2:41 and change. After my 4th run I was ready to let 'er rip WOT if we'd had one more run ! Was confident a 2:30's time possible. 60 drivers's 57-58 cars. Well organized and friendly folks. A few familiar faces and lots of new ones ! LOOOOONG ride over and back. We lost most of the brakes on the rear of my motor home coming down into Ashland,Or so ran with 10-15% braking capacity for 98% of the trip ! I'm STILL pulling pieces of the driver's seat cushion outa my rectum. 5-6 real close calls. Then got caught in a storm on Thursday with STRONG side winds between Burns,Or and Ontario,Or. 2-3 time I KNEW we were going to be pushed over by that wind.... All that for 10 minutes of racing ????? Yep. Gotta live while ya can ! Will be skipping Bible Creek, so it's Bogus then Mary Hill. http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/e...psa11eecb1.jpg |
