Santa Fe Skies RV Park — Santa Fe, New Mexico
Temps: Hi 80F (27C) / Lo 52F (11C)
Colorado to New Mexico — a new-to-us state … with or without the Phaeton. We drove through New Mexico on the way to our month-long stay in Colorado Springs, but since we didn’t overnight, that passage doesn’t count in my book.
Our 342-mile (547 km) travel day brought us from Colorado Springs to Santa Fe. I know, I know … that’s longer than what most of you like to drive on a travel day. It’s a little more than what we prefer to drive as well, but it really was an easy one … a straight shot down I-25 South; with only one “real” pass — the Raton Pass — just before entering NM. I even managed to wrest the wheel from Mui for a while and drove 60 miles (96 km) from one rest area to the next ;-)
