PK's Rio Chama Pics

PK and Gail went to Santa Fe, NM last weekend, for a weekend of fun and sun with some family, but more importantly, to eat at Maria's Kitchen, which is a top notch Mexican food restaurant in town that has hooked many, many people over the years. It's pretty remarkeable, because you will be talking to somebody completely random that you don't know and if Santa Fe gets brought up 9 times out of 10 they know what it is, and are hooked themselves. Bottom line, eat there if you get a chance.

On Saturday PK and my uncle Tom went fishing on the Rio Chama, first ending up at the tailwater below Abiquiu Dam, northwest of Espanola, NM. This is host to a short, easy stretch of water that is more popular with the fishermen more than the paddlers. The fish were not biting, so they headed upstream to the Day Run of the Chama Canyon, which is where we are heading next spring for our annual beginning of the season New Mexico trip. PK took some pictures to pre scout where we will be next year, and I gotta say, it looks pretty fun. Can't wait.
