Oct. 13, Chuck, Betty and I took off for Ruidoso to see Vince Gill at the Inn of the Mountain Gods. Since we had time, we did some sightseeing. I grew up at Carrizozo so the country used to be familiar to me. Not now!!
Ruidoso in the 50’s was a very small town. Very small! The last time I was there was '77 and it is so much more now than even then. But we did find the Waterwheel that I remembered.
These pics were then. The telescope is no longer there, but you could look down the valley ,etc.. for miles. The waterwheel is well taken of and looks pretty much the same.
These are now! I was so glad to see that they had preserved it. This next pic was from across the street back then. It’s no longer there.
Then we went out to the other end of town and found Fox Cave. Boy, I was really disappointed. You’ll see why!
Enough of memories!!
We had a wonderful lunch at Schlotzsky’s with dessert from across the room at TCBY.Umm,Umm, good!!
Then on to the Vince Gill Show. Sorry, no pics. He put on a great performance and is really a great entertainer. He had Gary Mule Deer open for him and this guy is on hellva Johnny Cash impersonator and comedian. Vince called him back out during HIS performance so to me that says a lot.
Next day , we headed home and on the way Chuck did a little geocaching. Think he got 3, not sure. Got home safely and back in the groove. LATER!!!!!
