From Santa Fe to Los Alamos

While staying at the Buffalo Thunder Casino north of Santa Fe we drove the jeep over to Los Alamos.  In 2011 while in the area we were unable to visit the museum, etc. because the wildfires were so near the area was evacuated and closed to traffic.

We visited Valle Grande before going into Los Alamos.  This is a favorite site for seeing elk but not this time.

After Valle Grande we went back to Los Alamos to theMuseum.

Quebradas Back Country Byway

IMG_3099

Friends that are volunteering at Ft. Craig (a BLM site) had told us about a trip they had taken and enjoyed.  So when we left Elephant Butte Lake SP on April 2, we drove the motorhome north to Ft. Craig to visit Lyn and Steve.  The next morning we took the jeep and headed out the Byway.

The mountains were beautiful with many colored outcroppings.

A little early for flowers but we did see a few.

While I really like the layout and space in our motorhome, I was not pleased  with the  decoration of the bedroom.  The print was very large so when I found this fabric which was a small weave design I had to get busy.

While we have made several trips through the Monticello Box Canyon, a trip to show it to George B. with Rae and Joe going along in their jeep made a great outing.
