NM NE

Wife and I decided earlier this year that we need to get out to more places that are close by. There are large parts of our state that we haven't seen even after being here 24 years. Our trip Bryce Canyon last month was in that vein. This last weekend we drove through large parts of Northern/Northeastern NM. I think one of our goals is just to check off the boxes of various places in the state LOL.

On this trip we checked off:

• Eagles Nest
• Cimarron
• Philmont Boy Scout Ranch
• Springer
• Roy
• Mosquero 
• Logan

 Not to mention the ghost towns of:

• Elizabethtown (totally non-existant
• Glenrio (ghost town and ghost highway of Route 66)
• Bard - where we ran into an older woman who used to work in one of the abandoned stores when she was a child

And of course we were taking pictures

Just outside of Angel Fire way north is the NM Vietnam War Memorial

It's very neat because it was started by a father in memory of his son and then was taken over my more institutional caretakers. All things Vietnam oriented tend to make me emotional and this was no different.
