We left Abiquiu Lake and made our way to Taos, NM with John and Jane. We shopped around the Old Town, near the Plaza. It was a wonderful place to shop. We took a picture of the yarn shop below to send to Peg, enjoyed lunch and spent lots of time in a minerals shop (Jane's favorite.) Then we parted ways. They are going to visit some relatives in Kansas and we're back on the road to Milwaukee.

Then we drove another "blue highway," Colorado 10, to get to La Junta, CO, where we had reservations for the night. As we drove in the high desert, we kept seeing very large spiders crossing the road. They had to be tarantulas. We could see them at 60 mph. When we asked at the campground, they said that the spiders are migrating. Sounded good, since we saw so many. When I researched a little on the Internet, I found that people say that they are migrating, but they are really looking for a female with whom to mate. They apparently live quite long, but I'm thinking they should find a mate on their own side of the road, "cause it's really hard on longevity.
