We have enjoyed our stay in Chama so much that we chose to stay 2 months instead of the one that we had planned. We have met some really nice people while we were here. Jerald and Dee, we look forward to fishing, tying flies and hanging out with you guys. Harry and Linda, we have enjoyed sitting by the many campfires and hearing about the tales of the steam trains and fishing with Linda. Bob and Lonnie, we had so much fun sharing late afternoon conversations with you and supplying Bob with some new flies. Mike and Diane, always have some interesting motorcycle stories to share. Mark and Ginger, our new Bluebird friends. Thanks for sharing your bird with us and Ginger keep making those wonderful feather ear rings! Hope some of my new fly tying tricks help, loved sharing a trout dinner potluck and stories/updates of our old Lone Star Bird friends that we share in common.
Rob and Mary, the managers of the Little Creel Resort. We have so enjoyed long conversations with both of you. You have made us feel so very welcome in the relaxing environment of your park. We highly recommend this park to anyone. This will be one of our many go to parks for summer stays.
The Village of Chama has been a wonderful experience for us. The people are friendly, the mountains are breath taking, Jeep off road trails are great, and the fishing is even better. I can't think of a better place to learn how to fly fish and develop my fly tying skills. All the wild life of Elk, Deer, Black Bears and wild Turkeys are a joy to watch. We will be leaving here soon with fond memories of our wonderful stay here in the Chama Valley.
One of the things on our "bucket list" is a perimeter ride of the USA...on motorcycles. After all, we have been riding two wheels longer than we care to admit! Since we have never been the type to "follow the crowd", we decided that we would attempt this ride on scooters. *****************UPDATE************** We have lost our minds...AGAIN! We are doing the Perimeter Ride again, this time on cruisers. Stay tuned for more adventures of Ken and Sharlene!!!!
