NM-117

We took a drive yesterday down NM-117. It winds south through El Malpais National Monument past lava flows and big sandstone monoliths, and then spits you out in the middle of nowhere. At that point you can see probably 50 miles in any direction, southeast to the Datil Mountains, northwest to the cinder cones along El Malpais’ western edge, and north to Mt. Taylor.

The dogs had a good time, and it was Little Orphan Annie Oakley’s first taste of adventure. It tuckered her out. (More on Annie another day).

Be well. – SAWK
