I'm pondering driving up to NY State next month to deliver puppies and visit kinfolk, the last time I drove that far in a vehicle was seven years back, and that was 36 hours with two drivers, I have no real idea how long that 1,800 miles would take me by myself.

OP PaulBarnard Campfire Ranger Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 26,522 Metairie, LA	I did a 23 mile mountain bike ride this afternoon. It had a pretty substantial climb. I have only been at altitude for a day and a half. On the steepest part of the climb I got light headed. I rode up into some snow remaining at about 10,500 feet. The downhill makes it all worthwhile. Nearly 43 MPH on a dirt road is a hoot.

The drive from there into the Rockies is truly spectacular. It's a shame that Raton is kinda run down. Geographically it's in a great place.

That place has been absolutely dying since about 2003 when the coal mine (which was the town’s main employer) closed down. A third of the population left. And many businesses closed due to lack of customers. Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

There's a pet friendly Econo lodge that I can back the truck right up to my door and unload the bikes. Laurie is always out there before me, so it's just Shadow and I. We don't need anything fancy..

I'd probably make it a 3 day drive if I did it. Back to back 900 mile days would be brutal.

Raton has inexpensive real estate, plenty of water, high speed Internet, a major interstate, a regional hospital, a railroad, an airport, and lots of outdoor recreational opportunities.
