Flight of the Monarch, Voyage 3, Day 7
| Star Date July 12, 2016 |
Today was short driving day, Santa Fe NM to Chama NM. Good roads, steady winds, and good climbs. Arrived in Chama shortly before 1300 hrs. We are staying at the Rio Chama RV Park which is very shady with level sites. The Internet service works well if you hold your PC with your feet while walking down the highway in the right hand lane on your hands while drinking a smoothie. I don't like smoothies so the Internet device is nonexistent for me. And the phone service is not much better and also nonexistent. In fact this note may not go out. If you don't get it please let me know.
We are next to the Chama rail station. We will ride the train over the mountains into Colorado and back 2 days from now.
We walked to a restaurant in town this evening, the first time this trip to purchase a meal. Foster's Hotel, Restaurant, and Saloon great food, great company, fair prices, and shitty service. We were there for 83 hours, well maybe that is stretching it a bit but you catch my drift.
A sign on the wall in the restaurant, Unattended Children will be given espresso and a free puppy. I pulled Brenda close and held her hand.
Walking at 7807 feet is noticeable to us flatlanders. It will take a couple of days to build up some extra red blood cells.
The Star Ship Monaco climbs well, just as her predecessor. On a climb the V10 3 valve per cylinder sounds like a Ferrari race car traveling at 200 mph except a Ferrari traveling at 200 mph probably burns less fuel than the Star ship traveling at 55 mph!
My goal for tomorrow is to learn to drink smoothies.
Mileage for today 119 miles
Trip total 1048 miles
