DAY 3 - Monday 6/20
 
 This morning around 8:30 we headed out from Santa Fe for our 3rd day of the adventure.  264 miles on the route today. 
    

cruising NE to Taos, NM 
we stopped in Taos, NM for some on-your-own time for shopping
    
several found items they couldn't resist - some of us explored historic items like the jail to the right
a dinosaur - we all need one of these  custom hats too ...NO, he didn't buy one!
    
We enjoyed another good mexican food lunch at Bella's Mexican Grill while in Taos 
    
 plenty of spots to sit and relax or check your phone 
    
cruisin on down the highway keeping the cruiser logo handy to get a quick shot while driving down the road 
    

up the road just a few miles
Our first real sight seeing encounter today was the Rio Grande Gorge bridge; the 7th highest bridge in the USA
 
   
    
 these guys were all over the place   
    

on the road again heading north
 
 A quick pit stop in Chama, NM before turning west 
    

we headed west, then north towards Pagosa Springs, CO
 
It sure was getting prettier ...other than the storms to our northeast 

We headed clipped the edge of Pagosa Springs, CO as we went on North up Wolf Creek Pass
   
    

a sight seeing stop heading up Wolf Creek Pass
  
a little before we reached the Continental Divide,
we stopped and hiked up to Treasure Falls
   
   
   
    

The Continental Divide
  
at the Wolf Creek Pass Summit we stopped for a few minutes, elevation 10,856 - also part of the Continental Divide
    
still snow on the
ground up here
Doc & Mary Anne
hiked over to play
in the snow
    
    
 what do you do when your Cruiser Sign is back in the car?  ...photo bomb someone else's cruise photo 
    
 ...we then turned around and headed back down Wolf Creek Pass - remember the song? 

 
we stopped at the last overlook before you reached the valley
Amazing View
    
    
 seems the trees can grow in anything up here - even what appears to be solid rock 
    
we cruised on down to Pagosa Springs, CO, thru town and out on the west side were our hotel was - the Hillside Inn
    
 have you ever seen a cell tower that looked like a pine tree? 
    

Tonight's Dinner Reservations
After some relax time at the hotel and to freshen up, we headed to dinner - just down the street a ways to Pagosa Brewing & Grill
    
    
Doug had made reservations for our
group of 27 outside, under their America Flag tent

    
    

 one of our member Vettes had some front tire issues so they planned to head to Durango early in the morning so they could get them replaced 
    
another fun day and an awesome sky this evening
