May 23, 2012 Red River Area

Decided to make a short trip and stopped by the Forest Service office at Questa for suggestions.  The main road we wanted to drive is closed until June 15, due to elk calving in the area. The first road we took was not passable either.IMG_3401

The recent rain and snow run off had raised the level of the creek. We talked with a local and was told this is very common at this time of the year.

So we continued around the Enchanted Circle and stopped by the Vietnam War Memorial.

Our friend, George B., is volunteering there so we were able to visit with him.

As Memorial Day approached the locals in Questa, NM using a field belonging to one of our seasonals grandfathers, put out flags. .

Every flag (separated by wars) carries the name of a NM resident that lost his life in that war.
