I knew we should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque.

It was bound to happen sooner or later -- a major navigation error. Unfortunately it happened in the evening in the mountains of Colorado (my favorite!) Actually, we should have taken a turn (not sure which direction) at Antonito, Colorado although the map showed a perfectly straight line. We had no clue we were getting off track. Antonito is only 5 miles or so from the New Mexico border and 30 miles from Taos (our destination). We had so many signs that we were off course. Joseph, Abigail, and I were patiently waiting for the New Mexico border sign so we could take a picture. 20 minutes later we gave up and figured they didn't put up a sign on this road. The map showed a very straight path to Taos from Antonito and as we were going round and round through the mountains, I kept saying to Brian, this is so weird that the map shows this to be a straight road. Over an hour and a half after we left Antonito, we finally passed the New Mexico sign. I told Brian, they obviously put the sign in the wrong place -- it should have been an hour back. He knew the sign wasn't in the wrong place, and when we saw the sign saying Chama ahead, we realized the error of our ways. We were now 2 1/2 hours from Taos. We found an RV park, but it was full. Just our luck! The Ride the Rockies bike race was camped out in Chama for the night - all 3,000 bicyclists. It was late, and we were tired. Thankfully,the RV park owner took pity on us and made a space for us. We got a great nights sleep and woke up early the next morning and we were in Taos by noon. Yea!!
