The final afternoon was spent with my final chase of the trip as I went out to Los Pinos valley to start my chase back into Chama. I was able to get a number of good photographs.

Very nice shots

Thanks Pete...

I think the whistle shot was Apache Crossing.

Thanks Tom, I never knew the name of that road. It is the one west of Los Pinos but before Tanglefoot.

Yes that is it. All the way down leads to a nice view of the lower end of Los Pinos valley and a phone booth near the curve to Osier.

I can confirm that. Definitely Apache.

My next question is, how is that road? Would a 2 wheel drive Santa Fe be able to make it down there so I could shot the train across the valley?

I've never had the time to follow it myself, but I've been told it deteriorates pretty quickly to little more than a trail. Don't know if you can get far enough down into the valley to see the line across the river. One of these days I'll check it out.

I'm sure Roger could tell you.

I will ask him when there next summer, thanks.

eze peze, it is a driveway for a ranch down in the valley. You can drive around down there as long as it isnt wet. Getting to the river maybe a risk but you can get close.

Thanks, Tom, I am always looking for more locations that I can get to in my SUV.
