Holy Ghost Creek 9_1_23

Took a bumpy drive up to Holy Ghost campground to have lunch and relax at our favorite area, Holy Ghost Creek. Nice weather, a fine lunch and even a visit by a small bat looking for its lunch. Also made a long relaxing video of the tumbling water.

Clouds 8_16_23

The monsoon was back in action and despite some heavy rains around the state, we managed to get a whopping 1/8th inch of rain.

Grand opening of the Legal Tender 8_12_23

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here back in 1986. Since then, the Legal Tender Restaurant and Saloon has had a variety of owners. Now, Allen Affeldt and Murphy O’Brien have re-opened it and my buddy Mike Gintert is running the kitchen and serving great food! It was originally built in 1881 as a mercantile store across from the new Atchison, Topeka & Santa Re Railroad station built a year earlier. Amtrak’s Southwest Chief stops in Lamy on its scenic trip between Chicago and Los Angeles.

Fire and sunset

I hoped we could get through this dry, hot Summer without a fire but it was not to be. The Black Feather fire (sparked by lightning) is burning up near Dulce, NM and is at 2500 acres so far. Thankfully rain has moved in for the last few days to help keep it in check.
