Friday on the Los Pinos and Toltec RR

Images from the Los Pinos and Tolec RR

Our Friday round robin group headed down to Peters yesterday an hours drive east from my house and there was a lot more to see scenery wise along with a new Goose appearing on the roster.
With permission from our host here are a few pics I took of the LP&TRR.

Enjoy.
