Friday May 19th- Part 1: Goodbye Chaco, Hello Jemez / Ponderosa / Bandelier

 Goodbye Chaco...

in the morning as we traveled south on 550 through Cuba NM and through the Jemez on Route 4, the weather report read 29 degrees and snowing 2- 4 inches at Jemez Springs ( ! ) When we came through the sun was out, and tiny bits of snow were still around in shadows. We had to do a little winter weather prep detour to Los Alamos because the expected low was to be 27- our coldest yet. But from that eve on, the forecast was all rosey.
