Just got home an hour ago. We added a day so we could ride the devil's hwy Sunday(my rear tire was up for more mileage then I thought) We went to Sedona today for lunch and a quick ride around a canyon.

About 90 miles from kingman I stoped for a HD rider on the side of the road but he didn't need help, good thing I stoped as the weather looked bad ahead so I put on my rain jacket ( my rain pants blew away in Chama) Rode with the H/D guy through the rain at a steady 80mph to home. Dukes head got wet but his body was dry.

I got hundreds of Video clips to sort through & edit for my movies! Here's a still from a vid of beemer Don on our approch to Taos!

Brother Mark, glad to hear that You and Duke are home safe and sound!

I was trying to get you to pull closer, so I could reach out and pet Duke!

Check out these Northern New Mexico pictures of AZ Beemers Club President Brian Boles. Not as great as our Bokerfork's, but almost as good as Old Michael's!

Here's the pictures from our Sipapu trip. These were all taken on Friday, on the scenic route to Sipapu.

In El Malpais, miles of poppies.

El Malpais is a mix of lava flows and sandstone embankments.

This is the La Ventanna arch, hard to see in the pix, but it is hollow up top.

This is the Soda Dam, on the way up the west side of the Valles Caldera. It is formed by hot springs that erupt here. The dam used to form a small lake with water spilling over the top, but the highway department blasted a hole at the base when the road was built.

Inside one of the openings, there is a cauldren of hot (warm) spring water. The condensate is forming the cauldren.

Blaise heading for the cauldren.

Little hot spring weep holes form little hot rivers on the previously laid down formations

This is the south side of the 21-mile across volcanic crater of the Valles Caldera

Sorry about that Ty, I should have put TUFW on the last four photos!

Did you know that this girl "hates bees"? I think she might have had a hankerin' for a guy in a blue jacket though. Although, I could be wrong. She was way prettier in person.
She was an incredibly beautiful redhead, this picture does not do her full justice. Papa Chuy ordered three Sipaburgers just so I could keep talking to this gorgeous gal!
