On Sunday we attended church at a Baptist Church here in Chama. It was just a small church but had quite a few people in attendance. Monday we took Highway 7 up to Antonito, CO. We traveled through the San Juan Mountains with, still, lots of snow on them….more than we have seen anywhere else. This highway goes in the same direction as the Cumbres and Toltec Railroad. In fact we crossed the tracks on several occasions. We had planned to take that train ride but found out there season does not start till the day after we leave. We traveled through several settlements which look like they are mostly all summer homes. Some of them seem to be surrounded by water from the melting snow. We also saw several RV Parks. Antonito, 47 miles away from Chama, has a grocery store but we will be going to Farmington, which has a Wal-Mart, in a couple of days so we can get groceries then.
The mountains we drove through are not nearly as scenic as those south of Chama but the views of the snow covered valleys were beautiful.
