ATV/GEOCACHE

 

Sept. 10,2010, Chuck, Stu, my brother, Dillon, wife and wonderful sister-in-law,Jean, friend Bobbie and I took off from the house for a day of fun and relaxation.

P9280497 This is some of us. Stu’s P9280503 ATV was not in running order so he took his truck along with Tiger.  He, of course, beat us to the first stop, which was the slab on Green Leaf Mine 100_0387

Road.  Tiger was smarter than the rest of us.  He found the shade.100_0390 Here the guys are cussin’ and discussin’ their GpS’s.100_0388 Then off we go to the first location on the GPS.  We did three total and Dillon found his first.P9280524 We found a little shade and had our lunch.  Then proceeded to come on back home and get under the cooler.

Wandering

This blogging is new to me, but here goes.  We (my wonderful love,Chuck) and I took a small road trip to Glenwood, NM and around the loop to Reserve, Snow Lake, Willow creek, and Mogollon.

First, on the way , we stopped by Bill Evans Lake.  This is a man made lake kept up by Phelps Dodge.  I’ve been fishing and camping there several times thru the years.

This was quite a trip in many ways.  First of all, at noon, in Glenwood, there was nowhere to eat!!  So we continued on to Alma, P9130325 where we found one small cafe open.  Good food, too!, but no motel. So we went on to Reserve, where we found a room, but no food.  Again!!

We saw some beautiful country as we were geocacheing,also.

This was also very amusing as I had never seen anything like it!P9130312 We did have delicious breakfast in Reserve and off we went to Snow Lake and Willow Creek. This is some really beautiful country and if you have not been there it’s worth going.

From here to Mogollon, an old mining town, very small and quaint.  Believe me, I would not want to live there in the winter!!!  P9140335

Back to Glenwood and the Catwalk.  This place has changed quite a bit from when I first saw it.  Back when it was a wood swinging catwalk!  Too many floods washing it out and here it is today.P9140348 P9140350 P9140361 P9140371

Back to the desert, which is home.  Deming ,HERE WE COME!!
