BEFORE THE SNOW FLIES


The temperatures are dipping into the 30's at night so we will make our last trip to the ranch until the Spring. Drain the lines and the tanks and secure anything that we normally leave out on the property during the rest of the year.

We had hoped to leave yesterday to have a little more time at the ranch today, but it was not meant to be. So the 5 hour drive will commence shortly, with a brief stop in Quemado to see if we can get a room at the new (well, almost a year old at this point) Largo Motel this evening. It's hunting season, so who knows if there will be any vacancies.

The weather is supposed to be beautiful all weekend, no chance of rain, thank heavens, so I know I won't spend the entire weekend trying to dig out the truck! With all the work we have to do, and getting back into town before nightfall, I probably won't get that long walk in either. Oh well, there's always next year, the mountain will still be there.

Onward.... I'll post pictures when we return.
