Fall color and snow storm

Catching up on the Fall colors and snow storm that hit on 10_27_20 (that effectively ended the Fall colors). And a nice timelapse of the clouds lifting off the Sangres.

19th Annual Halloween Cartoon

The 19th Annual Halloween Cartoon is here! Turn off the lights, huddle round the monitor and travel back to the golden days of pulp. And you can also visit the Crypt for past Halloweens here.

As always, young impressionable minds will be horribly traumatized should they get even a quick glimpse.

Hopefully.

Holy Ghost Creek hike 10_21_20

Our favorite place to go in the Fall and a not so spooky hike before Halloween. Last chance to get up in the Pecos Wilderness before Winter arrives next week.

Raccoon 10_20_20

My wildlife camera finally spotted something we have not seen in the twenty plus years we’ve lived here. At first I though it was another fat bunny!

Sunset 10_9_20

One of the few evenings with clouds to make a nice sunset (due in large part to the extreme drought we are now experiencing).

Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad 10_5_20

Originally, the Denver and Rio Grande Western narrow gauge railroad was built in 1880 to service the mines and timber in Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado. The Cumbres and Toltec is one of the biggest tourist attractions in New Mexico. At 10,022 ft., Cumbres Pass is the highest narrow gauge rail line in North America and the Toltec Canyon is another highlight of the route.

On trip to Colorado, we were lucky to reach the Pass when two locomotives were passing by. Lots of train fans out to watch. For more info, visit https://cumbrestoltec.com .
