We left Angel Fire this morning and headed back toward Taos on the"not so" Enchanted Circle. Lots of hairpin turns and switchbacks on highway 64 until we reached 68 which was supposed to be a nice straight shot to Santa Fe. Not so much. We never really got up to speed as we went through the Rio Grande Gorge. Beautiful scenery, but halfway to Santa Fe Warren and Kathy started to have problems with their engine. We pulled over to the side of the road and Jim and Warren put their heads together and realized that the engine needed a regeneration. That means the engine needed to burn off soot but since we were not going at highway speed it wasn't doing it automatically. So, we sat on the side of the road for about an hour and a half while they called Freightliner and figured out how to fix the darn thing.We arrived here at the Santa Fe Skies RV Resort and it's a cool and windy afternoon. The air is clear and there is no rain in sight for a change. Just chilling tonight after a day of drama on the road!
Pictures are of the Rio Grande where lots of people were enjoying floating down the river and a shot of the red rocks of the gorge along the way to Santa Fe.
