We had a lot of fun on our brief little trip to New Mexico a few weeks back. We didn’t do anything special – just went to a fairly remote “town” (population under 100) in the middle of nowhere in the Gilla National Forest.
It was a refreshing break from the 100+ temps at home – we spent most of the week in the mid-60s with lots of rain. We loved it.
The picture below is of the place we stayed. They had all sort of fruit trees on the property. Yun was picking from the mulberry tree in the photo. There was an endless supply of them. They’re not unlike a regular black berry. So good. So free.
We went for long walks on the dirt road near the lodge. The dogs were in paradise. Scout, despite being entirely deaf, avoided wandering off (though he always does push the limits).
About 45 minutes away was a town by the name of Truth or Consequences. There wasn’t much to do there – but it was something to see. Sadly we missed the fiesta advertised below.
