Santa Fe Skies RV Park
Santa Fe, NM

We finished our time in Colorado with a trip to the mountains. Colorado College Hockey was having an exhibition game in Breckenridge and Steven secured us tickets and hotel rooms at the Doubletree (what a great deal).

What a beautiful town....

The Ice Rink....

Snow on the peaks...

Steven running the team through warm ups.....

Game action....

It was a great game (but very cold) and CC beat Lethbridge (a Canadian college near Calgary) 4 to 1.
We had dinner that night at the Breckenridge Brewery and said our goodbyes to Steven. The next morning we had a light breakfast with Julie and Katy and then headed back to Denver. We said our goodbyes at Julie's house and drove back down to the motor home in Colorado Springs.

Yesterday we left Colorado Springs and drove south on I-25 for 140 miles passing Pueblo and Trinidad, and up over Raton Pass (7,834 feet in elevation) at the Colorado, New Mexico border. We stopped overnight at the KOA in Raton, NM. This was the same place we stopped in April of last year heading into Colorado. This is a no frills KOA and just good for an overnight stay.

The next morning (today) we drove south 170 miles on I-25 past Las Vegas (no not that one) to Santa Fe. Santa Fe Skies RV Park is located in southwest Santa Fe near I-25 and Hwy 114. Santa Fe Skies was highly rated in RV Park Reviews but I have to say we are very disappointed.

The nicest part of the park is the sign......

gravel roads and sites......

On the side of a hill... gravel (and weeds) everywhere.

Rolling hills of Santa Fe in the distance..

The sites are very narrow and unlevel....

Our step just barely cleared the stone wall....

We will be here for 11 days and will be driving over to Albuquerque (50 miles) for the International Balloon Festival which runs from 10-7 through 10-15. And of course we will be going into Santa Fe. Oh yeah, can't forget... Marilyn just read the RV Park brochure and they mentioned that 17 miles down the road is the town of Madrid which was made famous by the movie Wild Hogs...... oh yeah, gotta check that out..... maybe put on some leather and ride our Zappy's in to town   ;>)
