Ken wanted to go see Reserve, NM. so we drove there in a circular route doind site seeing on the way. Hap, Ken's brother, is buried in Reserve having spent several years in that area after leaving Nevada. We drove BY the VLA - Very Large Arrey - but didn't go in. If the kids get to come for Christmas we'll save that for then.
We did find where Hap is buried. Being New Mexico there is no perpetual care (keep it green and neat). The area is worth spending some time in and we shall do that. Hopefully we can do it some spring before we go home.

We went on through Reserve to Silver City. It was late so got a room then went to a nice little mexican restaurant ate and hit the hay.

| We haven't seen too many deer in NM |

| I just can't seem to get used to seeing these signs. NM doesn't | build bridges that may or may not be used every year. | | |
Instead they make dips so there is somewhere for the water to go during monsoon season. Haven't ever seen this phenomenon but AZ does it also.

| This little reservoir is on the road to the Gila Petroglyphs |

| And the view just keeps going on and on and on.... |
