![]() The drive from Utah to New Mexico was definitely an interesting one! With two fairly short drives I was able to visit another National Park, Black Canyon of The Gunnison National Park in Colorado. While a small park, it was magnificent with the deep canyons and charcoal colored rock and the little spurts of color coming from the sparse vegetation and river. It was truly spectacular. That night in Montross I had gotten a harvest host site at a local distillery that turned out to be one of the more fun stops along my way. At one point few gay couple came in and we got to talking only to find out that one of the guys had actually done his dissertation on how evangelicals approach faith after becoming accepting of gay people. He sent me the dissertation and I am looking forward to having a moment to read it! After a good night sleep I made my way to Santa Fe. After starting on my journey I got an alert that 50 would be closed, a guy at the welcome station said it was slated to be open, but not wanting to add more time because I gambled and lost I went with the sure route that only added 15 min. Unfortunately, I did not look at the map and ended up on the Million Dollar Highway. The Million Dollar Highway is one of the scariest roads to drive with a road that, in places, looked like it was melting away and is famous for its hairpin switchbacks and shear drops with no rail guards, let’s just say it was not the most fun driving I have ever had. Though it was amazingly beautiful! By the time I got to Santa Fe I was thoroughly exhausted, so check in at my Harvest host site and enjoyed a New Mexico tradition of a Green Chili Cheeseburger and went to sleep! The next day I headed to Abiquiu for the Art Retreat.
