Cloudcroft Crazy!

It's amazing such a snowy winter wonderland is only two hours away. Cloudcroft has the feel of an Aspen retreat with little shops lining the streets in a rustic way. Luke and I got into Cloudcroft around 12:30 this past Sunday to eat lunch and hit the slopes. No snowboarding or skiing in store though--we went TUBING! Neither of us had ever been snow tubing before, so this was a great experience. I highly recommend it if you've never been and want to do something for cheap entertainment. The guides working loved both Luke and I, and hooked us up with the fastest tube on the mountain! No seriously though, they buffed the bottom of one tube to increase speed, and so graciously let me borrow thier scared tube for the day. My favorite thing to do was have the workers throw me into a crazy spin down the slope. I think Luke's favorite way was belly down speed racing. He was one of the only people on the slope to hit the fence at the end of the run (meaning he was going REALLY REALLY FAST)! Once you hit the fence the whole crew applauds your dare devil ways. Overall it was a blast! I tried to post a video we took of us flying down the mountain, but for some reason it's not working, so I'll post it on Facebook if possible and you can check it out there. So far I am LOVING this adventure ride in New Mexico! Now...I'm off to find a JOB...still working on that piece of this adventure :)
