Highway 246 to Capitan

Another adventure as we headed up to Capitan on the back road, Highway 246, 75 miles of miles and miles. 

As we approached Thunderbird Ranch Alvin commented on this poor skinny horse

which provided a good laugh upon closer inspection

Traffic was very light as the ranch houses were 20 miles apart. 

Prairie Larkspur decorated the roadside along with verbena and perfume ball. 

The road climbed another 2,000 feet and the temperature dropped 10 degrees. 

The mountain had been shrouded in clouds when we left Roswell and we were soon receiving a light rain. 

the north side of the mountain was covered in snow

 and wispy clouds. 

The adventure never ends.
