Cabezon Peak

Wide open spaces; VERY few people, some cows (of course).

The first evening a herd of cranes, flying high, went by. Their hailing reminded of a crowd of early-morning revelers staggering homeward. They WERE southbound.

The BLM sign says there are over 50 volcanic plugs in the area. They erode much more slowly than the sea-deposited sediments left eons ago.



The 5-gallon jugs froze nearly solid, but the Wave 3 catalytic heater keeps the chilblains at bay.

Some wine and Thurber's Lanterns and Lances make for fine evening's entertainment.


And in the faaar distance you can see the Sandia Moutains that rise 5,000 feet and provide the backdrop of Albuquerque.
