Relaxing Near San Antonio, NM

Yesterday and today were pretty mellow days, lots of relaxing in the gazebo under bright sunshine, avoiding the sometimes chilling effect of winds.

Not very windy mind you, enough to get your attention and remind you of the effects of wind chill.

Today was much less windy than yesterday, thereby more enjoyable.

Yesterday's riding involved checking out the narrow canyon trail created along the old creek bed of Walnut Creek.  I rode Yagi all the way through this time until I saw signs of habitation in the distance.  I then retraced my route back towards camp.

The road/trail as you see is in quite good condition.  In fact, the VRRV would probably be able to drive it with no issues except for the sometimes very deep sandy spots where the creek bed used to be.

Today, it was time for Scarlett, my 2014 Ural Patrol sidecar rig to get some exercise.  I rode her along the same route as Yagi had already explored but not into the canyon, perhaps tomorrow for that.

I didn't go very far, electing instead to spend more time at camp enjoying the warmish weather.  Amazing how bright sunlight and little wind add enjoyment to temperatures that never reached the forecasted 60 degrees.

One thing about this place and time of year, the sunsets aren't much so far:
