We awoke this morning to our heaviest frost yet. It had rained most of the night so when we tried to get out of the tent we had a little trouble. The zip was frozen. In fact the moisture on the inside of the inner tent froze too, brrrrrrr! Lucky we both have good sleeping bags.
As we only had a short ride into the town on Antinito we missed breakie and got away quickly. It was a very chilly 20minute ride and by the time we arrived Scott was in a touch of pain with frozen fingers.
After a pancake breakfast we headed to the TRAIN!!! We had decided to take a steam train from Antinito, Colorado to Charma, New Mexico as we had heard good things about it and it was a cool thing to do on a rest day.
It was awesome. It wound it's way through some amazing country, above a couple of beautiful canyons and past beautiful Fall colours.
We all had a great day taking lots of photos and videos. We were quizzed constantly by interested people about our trip.
As you may have noticed in the first video, the weather changed at lunchtime but the snow just made it more pretty.
We found an interesting Motel in Charma for the night which was good as our tent was absolutely soaked from the thawing of the ice!!! The room was like a laundry with two tents drying.
We went to a very nice restaurant/saloon for dinner and then spent the night watching the Weather Channel!!
