Day 41 - 151 Miles Just For Fun and Beauty

I had already planned to stay in Santa Fe a 2nd night both because of the many nearby motorcycle roads and the lovely weather. The pictures tell the story better than words -- taken on a 151 circular route over the "High Road to Taos" -- isolated mountain towns surrounded by 13,000 foot mountain peaks in the peak of fall colors.

Yes, those are fly fisherman in the river in that last photo.

During the ride, the keylock to one of the storage pockets (where I store my sunglasses) failed to open the pocket. This pocket had been removed yesterday when the Honda parts guy replaced my headlight so it was a pretty good guess that the cable from the key to the latch had not been refastened correctly. Thanks to some excellent guidance on youtube.com on exactly how to fix the problem, I got it fixed easily after the ride though it did take some disassembly of plastic and parts -- and a borrowed piece of wire from a local maintenance guy.

A great, relaxing and easy day in superb weather and tomorrow looks like more of the same as I head for the northwest corner of New Mexico to the "Four Corners Monument" where NM, AZ, UT and CO all meet.
