Memorial day;
This morning we decided to visit a place called three rivers petroglyph site. It wasen't far from our rv park. We took the dogs,thinking for sure they could walk with us. Wrong. We were able to find a place under a tree that would shade them for a bit. We could see the truck from the elevation we walked up,so not to worry. Once on the trail,there were numbered signs to indicate where the glyphs were. There were petroglyphs everwhere. 21,400 petroglyphs were identified by a team from the university of NM. Jornada poeple from approx 600 years ago did all the drawings . From there we went back,loaded up the trailer and headed west. Back past the white sands and thru Las Crucis,a largeish ,sprawling town, at the foothills of the portrillo mts. Most of the trip was flat except for a long gruling climb up from the white sands missel proveing grounds. This would be over the San Andres mts. Truck was very happy to reach the top. Along rt 10,and off on 180,which ended up to be very straight,with a gradual climb to Silver city where we are now. Tomorrow we are off to see the Gila cliff dwellings, which were the home of the Mogollon people. Should be a good day.
