Highway 64 is closed temporarily between Cimarron and Eagles Nest is closed due to a fire as of Wednesday, April 28, 2010 at 5 PM. You can get up to date information at the NMDOT hotline - 800-432-4269 or their web site - http://www.nmroads.com/ . They advise seeking an alterantive route. If coming from the North East, take 160 West of I-25. If coming from the South East, come up from either Wagon Mound, Watrous (very windy road), or Las Vegas.
US 64 is a great way to travel across the Northern part of NM. Lots of interesting places to explore. Many things to do along the way. Our advice is to take your time and check out those little places of interest. Get an extra memory card for that digital camera. You'll likely find many photo moments, maybe even some animals. A number of state parks and national forests along the way. Many trails into the hills for a little off road excursion. Tha Sangre de Christo Range is spectacular! Enjoy the vistas.
Very high winds forecast which may well lead to other closures around the state. If you smoke, please use your ash tray rather than the road side. If you camp, make absolute certain that camp fire is 100% out. Cold out!
Smokey and the team at Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza thank you!

They are at 222 Ledoux Street which is a block North of Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza to the Placitas light, left to Ledoux, and a half a block on the left (South). They recently moved to a new storage facility and discovered many paintings not displaayed in a long time and some never publicly shown. Details at www.taoshistoricmuseums.com or 575-758-0505.
The UNM Harwood Museum is adjacent to Blumenshein. I posted about ehri upcoming Taos Chamber Music group concert. They also host numerous arts programs and exhibits during each year. Their extensive expansion project continues with minimal disruption to dayly operations. They are at 238 Ledoux Street. For information, call 575-758-9825 X 110. www.harwoodmuseum.org.
Millicent Rogers Museum has rotating collections and special exhibits. They'll have their 7th annual folklife festival in the spring. More information at: http://www.millicentrogers.org/. 575-758-2462. I'll let you judge their current exhibit of a reinterpretation of Norman Rockwell's Four Freedoms Posters. They offer a huge breadth and scope of historical and cultural materials.

Taos Mountain Balloon Rally 2009
If you prefer smaller crowds (way smaller!!!), come to Taos. This year, the rally expects over 30 balloons to share the fund and vistas of what amounts to historic flight.
CAUTION! The correct and only official website is http://www.taosballoonrally.com/. Someone has hijacked the correct name. WARNING, and you may contact viruses or other unfortunate situations or circumstances from that other site.
You want to plan on spending a long weekend as the rally starts Friday morning with a mini assension at 7:15 AM for invited pilots. A dawn patrol launches earlier around 6 AM. Those actions will be followed by tethered balloon rides at Salazar Field and select locations in the Taos area starting around 8:30 AM. From 4 to 10 PM, there is a no host reception at the Sagebrush Convention Center behind the Comfort Suites about 2 miles South of Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza.
Saturday, the dawn patrol flies around 6 AM followed by a mass assension from 7:15 to 8 AM. Saturday, a parade will occur downtown at 1 PM. What some folks love the most is at dusk, weather permitting, is the balloomenshine or balloon glow.
Sunday repesats Saturday mornings activities with the dawn patrol and mass assension. You are all invited to visit pilots and crews during the festivities. It also gets you out to see the colors which are already fading but still great to look at. The colors around Pilar are really good this week. Stop and enjoy on your way to or back from Taos (if you're driving up from the South).
With our very affordable specials, Indian Hills Inn, Taos plaza invites you to spend 4 nights with us this week (or most any other). Pay 3 nights, the 4th is FREE. Plus we are offering great rates from $49 (a few rooms) to $69 for 1 or 2 Guests. As our normal reminder, those rates are ONLY available direct. You can't get those values anywhere online. www.newmex.com/indianhillsinn or 800-444-2346.
It's not too soon to book your Thanksgiving weekend ski/shop trip to Taos! Thanks for reading. Let us know what you think, post a comment!
