Ojo Calinete and Northen New Mexico
I am still not certain if these are deer or antelope, but there are a lot of them and I pull over each time there is a herd.
I am really getting used to these ravens (crows) traveling along with me. They are good companions and don't expect anything but a little road kill now and again.
I do enjoy the artwork in these signs and I wonder if a guy actually jumped off of this cliff to pose for the picture.
Heading north towards Colorado I am reminded that the big, snow capped Rockies are ahead.
I spent the day today, November 14, at Ojo Caliente in Northen New Mexico. It is a collection of mineral springs (lithium, iron, soda, arsenic) in 6 different rock baths for soaking. It is just unbelievable. It is very modestly developed ($19 a day for access -- though there were some much more pricey amenities, massages, etc). But for the $19 I soaked in all of the pools all day and I think I felt bumps and kinks from rugby 20 years ago leaving my body. This is a place I will go back to. There is some kind of magic in the water and it has been coming out of these rocks for at least (recorded site) 2000 years. Ahhhhhhhh!
