Thanks everyone for your sympathy, comments and suggestions for Jake and the door. He doesn't really like it when I leave without him but he's always been just fine in the rig with the cats so I don't know what happened that night; something spooked him good. I'm not at all upset about what he did to the door, stuff can be repaired, I'm just sorry he was so freaked out.
Yesterday was a day of exploration. Here, let me show you.
Gran Quivira National Monument ruins (doggy friendly)
Quarai Mission Ruins (doggy friendly)
Historic Shaffer Hotel in Mountainair, NM
And because there just aren't enough pictures in this post yet, some awesome landscape and clouds.
Nice ruins, I'm glad Jake could go, too. I never made it to Mountainair, but it looks nice if the hotel is any indication.:)
ReplyDeleteThere's really not much to Mountainair other than the old hotel. nice scenery, though.
DeleteAwesome ruins!! And, I've never heard of them before.
ReplyDeleteThey're two of the three Salinas Pueblo Missions. The third is Abo, which I didn't get to see.
DeleteLove the ruined post....
ReplyDeleteagree! Great title. Annie, the pictures are beautiful. Wish I was out west again. just can't wait to get out that way again..
DeleteReally love your pictures but you don't have nearly enough to qualify as an over picture poster and I'm one who should know about that! So glad to see you out and about and seeing these really interesting places. The ruins look so beautiful as do the skies. Happy you!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear I didn't overload on the pictures. There were a bunch more I didn't include.
DeleteIt was a great day for exploring, loved the clouds.
Very nice ruins at a Monument I've never heard of. Glad it is doggie friendly.
ReplyDeleteYou may have heard of them as part of the Salinas Pueblo Missions. Or not. :)
DeleteJake was happy to go along.
Great pictures Annie, I want to go there. I want to go everywhere but at least somewhere. Drove all the way to Florence yesterday with Terry for lunch. hahaha It was that or get peeled off the ceiling.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know where Florence is but glad you got out of the house for a bit.
DeleteLove the contrasting colors of the two ruins - like they had "paint chips" to choose from when building :-))). The clouds are beautiful, they didn't ruin the post at all.......
ReplyDeleteI really like the red of the Quarai ruins best but both places were impressive.
DeleteWe took many MANY a motorcycle ride down to the ruins when we lived east of Albuquerque. My favorite color-wise was always Quarai, but it always fascinated me how they built one "batch" of living quarters over an older section in Gran Quivera. Thanks for the memories...
