Albuquerque was a Spanish colonial outpost in 1706. The city is a blend of Native American and Spanish history and heritage. Named after a Spanish viceroy, the town grew on the banks of the Rio Grande as a vital stop on the old trade routes. Today, Old Town remains the historic heart of the city.

Madrid is a quirky community on the Turquoise Trail, between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Founded as a coal town, commercial mining began in the 1830s & 1850s, leading to the official founding of Madrid in 1869. By the late 1890s, it was a strict company town, supplying fuel for the Santa Fe Railway.

Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge transforms into a migration sanctuary every autumn as tens of thousands of sandhill cranes, snow geese & Ross's geese arrive to overwinter on the Rio Grande. Mornings & evenings are the best time to go, as thousands of birds lift off (or arrive) in groups.

The Jemez is one of my favorite day trips. From Corrales, it doesn't take long to get there. The area is visually stunning. The landscape changes dramatically every 10-15 minutes and there are an impressive assortment of things to see and do, depending on interests and time available. 😊 #NewMexico

At 11,973 feet above sea level, Sierra Blanca is the tallest peak in the Sacramento Mountains, with spectacular views of the lower peaks and the Tularosa Basin. From the peak you can see where the black lava flows of Valley of Fire stops right before the dunes of White Sands begins. Stark contrast.

Cerrillos, Spanish for "the little hills," was known for mining before Europeans arrived. In fact, Cerrillos has the longest historically intact record of pick and shovel mining in the Southwest. Humans settled in this area as early as 500 A.D. Puebloans discovered gold, lead and turquoise deposits.

I am enjoying World Cup fans. Though Trump has avoided the games so far, he is supposed to present the trophy, which gives him an opportunity to make everything about himself, insult the world, and/or embarrass the nation. Hoping for the best, bracing for the worst. Orange nimrod. 😁

Seeing more snakes than normal this year. Mostly Gopher snakes and Coach Whips. I was in my car last night when one scooted by. We both froze. Eventually, it slithered under my car and watched me until I left.
