Valle Vidal - June 13, 2012

We had planned a trip east thru the Carson National Forest since our arrival here.  When our friend, Frank, stopped for a few days we decided to take him with us.  We left hwy. 522 at the town of Castilla and drove through the town square..

Then we enter the Carson on gravel forest  service roads.  We were not allowed off the main road because of elk calving in the area.

This forest service road (No. 1950) like so many has lots of switchbacks as seen on our GPS.

There are probably a dozen windmills and ponds along the 60 mile route over to Hwy. 64 just north of Cimarron, NM.  Not sure who installed or maintains them.  We did not see any wildlife but elk and deer are in the area.  We did see cattle grazing in the National Forest.
