Guess it's just too dang hot down that way in the summertime!<BR/>Lou - Wow 11 deaths? That's terrible! They've beefed up our troopers, locals etc. for the season but honestly it was fairly quiet (Thank God) and the highlight of the weekend is when they caught the local boys who had been breaking into vehicles in one of the local towns.<BR/>Buck- Great minds think alike! I almost put that one in the post!<BR/>Jim- I don't envy you in DC. That place is a nuthouse for traffic! Too many people on the road... should stop em at the border and give them a bus pass! I rode the subway most of the time I was there... or walked... left my truck at the hotel. We have "rotary circles" here... now those are a real test for some of these folks.... :)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14429455198999868784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619630163838803293.post-9902406017884599872008-05-27T20:54:00.000-04:002008-05-27T20:54:00.000-04:00Yeah, but they ALL stop through DC on the way ther...Yeah, but they ALL stop through DC on the way there... You have not seen F-'ed up traffic till you see lookie-loos running into the sides of tour buses in the middle of morning rush hour traffic, or try to fight home on the side streets, only to find some dumba** driving a bus has managed to get wedged at an intersection... sigh...Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619630163838803293.post-10526477792006282522008-05-27T17:40:00.000-04:002008-05-27T17:40:00.000-04:00My favorite comment about Tourist Season:"Well, if...My favorite comment about Tourist Season:<BR/><BR/>"Well, if it's 'Tourist Season,' how come we can't <I>shoot</I> 'em?"Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619630163838803293.post-10891892575217810602008-05-27T09:47:00.000-04:002008-05-27T09:47:00.000-04:00That is much the way life is Red River, NM.

But the summer residents start moving in and the town comes alive. Memorial Weekend in RR has about 3000 bikers in town to kick off the season. Every policeman for miles and every state patrolman that can be spared is in the area keeping things peaceful. One year there were 11 motorcycle deaths in Taos County alone over Memorial Weekend - a dispatcher's nightmare.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619630163838803293.post-27513149846921398672008-05-27T06:33:00.000-04:002008-05-27T06:33:00.000-04:00So thats where they go when they leave South Flori...So thats where they go when they leave South Florida!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393517097643673337noreply@blogger.com
