This morning we headed off From the Motel to do the Enchanted Circle a drive well promoted by the tourist brochure,but a part from one town called Red River it was all pretty boring.
Red River however was a great little town and as luck would have it,it was hosting 2 events.
The local Chamber of Commerce was holding a really good craft market and music festival'
Sandie saw some jewellery she had to have, we had lunch while listening to some good music.
The other event ...totally new to us was the "World Championships Quick Draw Finals" It was all taken very seriously with one gunslinger taking us aside to describe the finer points of the competition.
The Towns really relied on the snow season and it was truly evident by the large number of Lodges and cabins.
After leaving Red River we tracked down some more hot springs to be found on the edge of the Rio Grande..To get to the 2 small rock spring pools we hiked down the side of the gorge,this was after a 3ml drive along a twisty dirt road.
At the pools we found 4 guys, 3 of whom were pretty pissed and smoking dope, the other guy was friendly and talkative,
Un- fortunately the other 3 didn't endear themselves to us .....after 30 minutes we left,
Tonight we are going to a Lodge down a bit from our motel to see some local Indian Tribal Dancing....should be good fun.
