The Rocky Mountain Continental Divide Ride (3)

Taking a break alongside a beautiful mountain lake.

Got Dust?
Not to worry, it clouds up quickly but rarely rains.


Riding across the York Ranch in West Central New Mexico.
Sand and washboard gravel as far as the eye can see!

Pie Town, New Mexico


Civilization!
A five room motel in Datil, NM. After a long day of the desert, mountains, gravel and sand, it looked like "The Four Seasons" to us! Wild elk could be seen standing just behind an old building across the road.
New Mexico Cliffs - near Grants, NM We stayed in small town mom and pop, drive-up motels mostly.
We never found a bad one.
North West New Mexico, near Chama (state road).
When they say "Pavement Ends" they mean just that!
There was nothing but super slick mud for the next two miles!

Joe Freeland and Mike Alewine waiting for the signal to start sliding!
