The Trip West

My how time flies even when you are not flying!

Last I wrote we had been busy enjoying life in Florida. We did manage to do a few more things before we buttoned down the house to hit the road.

One of our walks at the Indrio Savannahs allowed us to see some more birds, an alligator, and a beautiful sunset. It is great there is such a unique place close to where we hang out during the winter.

Take My Picture Please

We played a bit more golf before we started the driving marathon and ran into these guys on the course. It is a lot of fun every time we hit a course here as you never know if you will see some new things.

SIT hit the road April 21^st for Idaho. We decided to take a little different route home this time in order to visit some friends in Dolores Colorado. As it happens our drive took us through Roswell New Mexico.

We arrived there about mid-afternoon so had some daylight to wander along the street and gander at a few of the residents. Don’t worry I think they are used to being stared at. We spent the night there and were lucky enough to not have a close encounter of any kind!

We Think It Got Bored

As we continued the trip from Roswell found the Echo Amphitheater on the Carson National Forest. We stopped to stretch our legs and see what was happening up at the amphitheater. The scenery is beautiful and the rock formation is pretty cool. When you stand at the top of the path and talk you get the echo. We couldn’t get Izzy to say anything but we enjoyed talking to ourselves. Maybe a little too much!

There is some unique staining occurring so if we travel this route again we will need to stop and see if it has changed.

We went through Santa Fe and my how it has grown since the last time I was there. It is a pretty part of New Mexico especially in the spring. We stopped at Pagosa Springs Colorado to check out the hot springs. They have developed the springs quite nicely and the river provides for some great entertainment.

We enjoyed the journey home since we were able to visit friends in Florida and Colorado as we headed west, but it was nice to get back to home and enjoy Idaho Spring.

Stop and Smell the Roses

You are probably trying to figure out why it has taken me so long to share this bit of SIT’s adventure. No excuses, I just had not taken time to sit down and write. I will try and do a bit better as the summer goes by and we hope your summer is filled with adventure and making everlasting memories. As always stay tuned for more from SIT!
