It's Memorial weekend here this weekend. Yesterday, Sunday we went for a drive to Pecos. There is a Pueblo and old mission in the National Park there.
This is the remains of the mission complex. Its adobe in the main but many of the walls are stone, cemented with adobe mud.
We then took a drive to a lake, and trout hatchery which was ho-hum but decided to continue on up the road, in the Pecos Wilderness area and found lots of lovely camping spots and fishing holes - people seem to be into fishing, everyone had fishing gear! Since it wasn't the end of the road or the top Richard kept on going and we found ourselves (some of you will be really suprised to hear) in a forest on an unsealed road, we agreed that we'd turn when it started to go down or we hit the state line. We stopped so I could take some aspen photos and a woman coming the other way stopped and told
up what was up the road, the top! about 10 more miles on so thats where we were going! It was getting colder as we rose and the vegetation changed to more furs, the road never got that bad but it was rutted. The top was a bald mountain with an areial on it but views for MILES ! There was an expecially dramatic mountain close by with square columular cliffs down the sides looked like a volcanic plug maybe, my Geology round here's not up to much but I know lots of it is volcanic. I took pic's but they're to hazy to really see much. 
but here's two anyway.
