Travel to Taos

With the bike fully loaded for three-days of traveling and camping in the Taos, NM region, we left Colorado Springs around 8:30am in the morning and made it to our campsite just after lunch. The following is a rough map of route (shown within New Mexico only):

The ride on Highway 64 from Raton to Taos, NM is a fun ride with a mix of high speeds and twisties. The only caveat is that the first fourth of the road has an abundance of road snakes which can be a treacherous on a hot summer day.

As for our campsite, we ended up making camp in Enchanted Moon RV and Camp Grounds but it was anything but enchanted:

As you might be able to tell from some of the facility photos, it was a little run down to say the least. Not to mention that we had tiny caterpillars hovering in the air all over the place on small silk strands. I don’t remember ever seeing that before on previous camping adventures. While cooking dinner that night, it was a challenge to fight off the caterpillar army as they climbed up through the wood and dropped from the sky. I’m just glad Kate was a good sport for allowing me to pick that spot to camp at for the night. Hey, it’s all part of the adventure, right?
