days 5 and 6







Yesterday I woke up and my uncle Wally and aunt Kay took me around the "Enchanted Circle" It is an 80ish mile circle located east of Taom New Mexico, it is really beautiful and I'm glad I got the chance to explore that. We had lunch at a small town called Red River on the northern section of the loop, it is usually a ski/snowboard resort town but there was no snow up there this time of year. I liked the little town, especially since we scored some free cake! after that we continued around until we were on the westernmost part of the circle and we turned off onto a different highway, I had no idea where my uncle was taking me until we were driving on a bridge over a gigantic gorge in the middle of the desert! After that we had dinner and I got to sleep in a bed again.
This morning I decided that I wanted to go north into Colorado just for the heck of it so after getting some tips on what to see there from my uncle and aunt, I headed north. It is really beautiful here and tomorrow I'm looking forward to seeing the "Garden of the Gods" I found a Wal Mart to stay in about an hour from where I am now but I decided not to go for it because they had signs saying not to stay there overnight, so now I am in Colorado springs which is a larger city in the middle of Colorado on the eastern side of the rockies. I'm gonna stay in a parking lot here tonight.
