This may be of interest.....

Two years ago Colin and Anna and I were rained out while hiking the Trestle Trail in Cloudcroft.  This year, with Beverly, we made it.

Switchback Trail revisitedJuly 15th 2013

We have done this trail maybe three times before.  It is a 4.4 mile loop.  The first time we did it we missed a sign and made it into at least 6 miles-the last two uphill.  Then we had to walk downhill two miles to retrieve the scooter.....in the rain.

This time because of the cool weather, about 65 degrees it was a piece of cake.  I had made fresh cod butties and we had them sitting on a big rock about 2/3s of the way round.  Because of the cool, and it being Monday we saw no-one else at all on the trail.

Here are a few pics...

From My Point of View

We are in Cloudcroft, N. M.  Last night we went for a very short stroll up the street and found we were 1 block from this view......

Then we sat on the porch and I had this view.....

Which do you like best?

As we were returning to our mountain top cabin in Cloudcroft yesterday we saw several zephyrs.  Here is one of them.

Christmas in Rancho

So annoyed with YouTube.  They've changed the site so much and made it difficult for me to navigate. I had it down for years and now I'm addled.

Anyway I have a video to post and I'll try to get another loaded to post later....
