Lincoln National Forest

As we headed down from the mountain on our way back to El Paso we passed through the Lincoln National Forest.

Unusual rock formations made over many years.

Trip to Cloudcroft, NM

With Deborah's expert driving we rose to an elevation of over 8,000 feet above sea level to see Cloudcroft, NM which is near Alamagorda NM. As you can see the traffic was horrible compared to Atlanta.



                                     

More pictures on the way down.

Thanks Deborah, for all of the driving.

High school pride

On the side of the mountains you can see high schools have left their mark.

Lindsay's school has left their big "I".

Visit to White Sands, New Mexico

Quite a lot of sand around here that's for sure. Click on the pictures to see a full view of the beauty.

Sand and mountain snow in the background.

Pure beauty. Both the country and the people.

Awesome display of sand.

On a day trip to White Sands, New Mexico

We stop and shopped in Alamagordo, NM for pistachios.

They had quite a mixed bag to choose from. We bought BBQ pistachios and Garlic Pistachios.

Hockey in El Paso?

What a surprise. The start of the playoffs and we went to a game. They ran a promotion: if the Rhinos scored six or more goals in the game hot dogs went on sale for $1.00

HOT DOGS for a $1.00 with plenty of time left.

We did not buy any though as we still had a tummy full of Mexican food consumed before the game.

Trip to a canyon.

Lindsay's work place

The first thing we did in El Paso, TX on our trip was to visit Lindsay's work place. Lindsay is our oldest grandchild and moved to El Paso in August, 2013. She certainly has a nice view from where she works.

Spring forward an hour

The first day after moving the clock forward one hour.

And spring starts to show up. Ah, the changing of the seasons. My favorite time is coming up.

Welcome Tennessee family

Derek, Karen, Tanner and Taylor Guske came in late last night for a three day weekend. This morning I caught them intently watching TV. Well, at least they were awake after getting in at 12:30am.
