Circle the Wagons RV Park. To me, this Park is charming. It is in La Veta, Colorado. Our campground was right by the river.
The surrounding country is beautiful. In Cucara, there is a delightful cafe called the Dog Grill and Bar. Pups are definitely welcome and we met many breeds.
Highway 12 is known as the Highway of Legends. The Legends are the natural outcropping on this Highway. They are amazing.
Took the pups to a groomer and ran errands while we waited for them.
We ate a couple of mornings at a place called The Corner Cafe. The owner and cook had a temper, but the place was very clean and the food was good. The second morning he wore a t shirt that said “Anger Speaks!”
On our last day, we ate at a restaurant named Alys. I had a stuffed trout ( with the head on) and John had a huge rack of lamb. The restaurant was a complete surprise!

Pendaries RV Park – Rociada, New Mexico Our 12TH state!
Nice campground – hilly, rocky, with Ponderosa Pines. In the 50s in the morning and warming up during the day.
We did a lot of riding looking at Adobe buildings and family cemeteries on the property of the family’s ranch.
John had not been able to cook outside since before Kansas because of the wind. He fixed us a wonderful breakfast. The pups were willing to assist him.
John and I decided to go Angel Fire which is a Ski Area. On the way, we stopped at a Grist Mill in Mora. A historic foundation is restoring it to become a community center. We then took a narrow road that WAS paved but had no center stripe. It was a winding road up the mountain. Coming around a curve, we were greeted by a Dollar General 18 wheeler. I don’t think he was supposed to be on that road. When we both came to a standstill, our front left fender was UNDER his left rear trailer. To our right was straight down the side of the mountain. John was able to move to the right just a little and ease around him. God was truly with us.
We ate a late lunch- early dinner in a cute restaurant that was decorated for Christmas on the inside. Then headed back to the campground.
Riding through the countryside, we, of course, saw all sorts of animals, farms, and topography. The picture below is one of my favorite.
As we leave this campground, we have been gone 10 weeks.
