You need to see that place covered in snow, beautiful

New Mexico is a spectacular place. Every kind of terrain except sea shore.

New Mexico resident for many years, and have spent countless hours in the Jemez mountains and Bandelier. That rock at your campground wasn't a clay material at all, it's compressed and petrified volcanic ash (pyroclastic flow) from the Valle Caldera, which erupted about 1.5 million years ago, and spread its ash as far as Kansas.

Wife and I have been binge-watching from the beginning and have finally caught up. Hate having to wait on the vlogs now but thanks for posting twice a week.

Looks so peaceful. I've lived in NM for over 20 years. I pass through the Caldera but now I really want to stop and explore. Thanks for showing us this epic landscape.

Thank you for loving my country, it is truly Enchanting

That cabin was a movie set cabin made for "The Missing". I was lucky enough to stay in the Caldera at the Bunkhouse for a weekend in 2014. I have some great photos and memories of that weekend. The bunkhouse was made into park offices and you can no longer stay in the Caldera. The bunkhouse is near the cabin used in Longmire. There are much bigger chunks of obsidian further up the valley. Back in 2014 we were able to drive up to the valley. You have to hike up there now from the main road. Sometimes if you are lucky you can see a weasel near the visitors center. I believe the 8 room lodge is still in the Caldera and who knows what it was turned into. It is hard to imagine that someone used to own all that land and glad it is a "preserve" so it doesn't become a bunch of mac mansions.

Nice to see the two of you enjoying New Mexico. It can be a mystical place and if you look hard enough the skies are the bluest in the world. Enjoy!

[kitchencarvings]

That pizza just looks amazing. I just used a dutch oven in the fire for the first time yesterday, to cook biscuits. What fun.

[greygooseadventures]

[tammietrivento]

It is so lovely, and peaceful out there I bet? I enjoy your videos. Thank you for bringing us along!!

[NotTheNebraskaMan]

You two have inspired me and my wife to want to get off our butts and go for some adventures. We live in New Mexico and want to start back packing and exploring.

[Whiplash]

hey guys, glad to c ur having fun.while in NM if u have time, u might visit the Gila( pronounced he-la) wilderness area in the south west part of the state.I think it’s the largest wilderness area in the lower 48.some historians believe it’s where Geronimo hid out.God bless y’all for taking us along, I could literally watch ur videos over and over.I get to see places that I hope to visit one day.y’all are truly the best.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[kit]

Hopefully the little pug owners found him. Unless he met up with the prairie dogs and decided to become nomadic.lol. Another awesome video!!! Rocks amaze me too!Kelly’s cooking NEVER disappoints! Can’t wait for the cook book!!!❤️✨✨✨

[insaynbcr]

Wait till you get to Oregon. You really need to visit the Paulina Lake/East Lake area of the Newberry Caldera. You want to see a LOT of obsidian in one place? Like enough in one place to fill a really big lake. There is also a lava flow that made tree castings as it cooled quickly around old growth trees. The trees have since decomposed leaving natural round well looking casting amongst the lava flow. Oh, and both lakes are great for kayaking around.

Wife and I lived in Albuquerque for a while and visited Spence springs quite a bit. There’s usually hippies that bathe up there in the nude. Last time I was there it was just the two of us in the hot springs pool in the middle of the winter surrounded by snow, talk about gorgeous!

[jessys]

Another great video. I can't wait to try pizza in my DO

[michaellewis]

Beautiful part of N.M.!! Been there a few times on vacation. Look forward to the Colorado trip. If you stop to see Meza Verde you won't be disappointed!! S.W. Colorado is endless with beautiful scenery & history. Oh! By the way if you stop through Chama N.M. there is a awesome place to eat across from the railway station. Don't remember the name though. 🍽
Safe travels to you and enjoy the trip as I know you will! 😉👍🦅🐻⛺🏞
