March 1 - 6, 2017 - Tulum, Mexico to Raton, Mew Mexico

Our time in Mexico came to a close Wednesday morning. We took the bus from Tulum to the Cancun airport for our flight to Phoenix. It was a great month and a pretty easy flight back to the US.


We spent five days with our moms before gathering up our spoiled dog, Penny, and heading back to Colorado. It was a busy time – helping my mom get all of her outside windows and screens washed and Tobey getting his mom’s taxes done. It was the least we could do after they watched our dog since Christmas! We also had a chance to have dinner with our friend, Roger, who came from Tucson. It was fun to see him.

We headed out about 8:30 this morning with Penny riding co-pilot on Tobey’s lap. She missed her “dad” and wanted to stay pretty close.

The desert is really green and full of wildflowers as we headed north on Hwy 87 from Scottsdale.

East of Payson, on Hwy. 260, near Kohl’s Ranch, we ran through a section where snow was still on the ground. Welcome back to the mountains in the spring!

We made a stop in Las Vegas, Nevada to drive into the Old Town Historic Plaza which serves the setting for the TV program “Longmire.” It was so windy and cold that we didn’t spend much time – just a quick walk around the square and back on the road.


We are stopped for the night in Raton, New Mexico before our final drive home tomorrow.
