When I left Tucson, it had been 115 degrees for more than a week. My AC was not keeping up and my fridge was having a hard time also. I was so glad to get out of town! I made a beeline for higher elevation and cooler temperatures!
I ended up in northern New Mexico, which was not where I had planned to be, but plans are always written in the sand at low tide. I ended up in a state park near a small town, with scenery like this.
This town might be small and older, but their church is not - it looks relatively new and is very well kept.
On a nearby road going out of town is a shrine built onto a rock wall.
Like quite a few places in the southwest, there are abandoned buildings, as well as old antique vehicles.
This truck is for sale, in case anyone is in the mood for a restoration project!
We had lunch at this place in a nearby town, and even in July, they warn us of snow dangers!
Ah, mom and I love that area and have been in that weaving shop. We just missed you by a month we were there in early June. As always love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed you. I'm getting a late start this summer and I really didn't even expect to be in this neighborhood - I had planned on being in eastern California. I'm going to be in the Northeast part of New Mexico for a couple of months now. Let me know if I'm going to be in your neighborhood.
