Mountain Roads

While I was in New Mexico, I went to spend a few days with my brother and sis-in-law at their winter place in Truth or Consequences – we’ll talk more about the name and history of this city in another post. They bought this winter retreat to escape the winters in their home state of Minnesota. Took them a few years, but they finally got smart!

I captured a few photos of the two of them, which SIL did not want me to publish so I reached a compromise – I am not publishing the close-up, SIL – that’s “our” compromise.

During my visit, they introduced me to some of their favorite mountain ranges – they are avid mountain hikers.

We passed a rain squall,

stopped for a picnic lunch here,

and drove up roads like these

occasionally meeting some of the local residents (some closer than others)

reaching for the clouds

to enjoy beautiful views like these.

It was a grand introduction and we did much more, but all good things take time you know so those posts must wait a while.
