Walsenburg to Sipapu Thursday Sept 8/2011


Got going pretty early this morning. Continental breakfast 9:00. Had a pretty good sleep and then on to Sipapu. We had a Mexican lunch at Michael's Diner in Taos. Taos is kind of neat even the MacDonalds is adobe style.So 25 miles to the SE is the Sipapu ski resort. Pulled in and there are Turk, Dennis, and Tim. Pretty hard to beat those boys. I think Turk was surprised. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and it was a very cold, wet weekend but everyone just made the most of it.
Vonnie and Paul Glaves were also there and Vonnie had achieved her 1 million miles on a BMW award and I was delighted to be there to see her presented with it.
Got a great picture of her and Jordeane in front of the lodge.
They had a band both nights in the lodge but it really was too small to accomadate everyone. Breakfast was served in the lodge cafe upstairs every morning to the tune of $10.17 It was a good buffet but very pricey. They also served the Saturday night dinner which was excellent Mexican food. I was pleased to receive the




the long distance award. I was given a 100 year centennial belt buckle for New Mexico which one of the fellow BMW members had designed. Beautiful! And one would be remiss to not include this wonderful picture of 3 dogs and Lucky. Here are just a few more pictures of the rally and all the bikes.
