A TYPICAL DAY ON THE RANCH
Today there are 4 of us, Ed,Jami,Mike and myself in the Hummer.  Jami is the 

Official Photographer on this trip.  If you have ever had to go through 180

4500 pixel photos and pick out only 10 or 12 to show the story you have not

lived.  I use to be the editor of a magazine and have some experience in this

area so here goes the typical day. 


First there is the drive by.  The scenes are worth a hundred pictures in them self. 

Here is one of them.  This is Mesa Felipe with an artsy look. 



We are driving to the cave that has an ancient hunting blind in it.  I want to 

show the new guys Ed and Jami the workmanship on this blind. 



There at the hunting point of the blind is a large buck



I let them know that the blind was designed in a blind canyon and the

buck would have to pass us on the way out so here comes the first real

photo opportunity. 





We found that after the wettest year in New Mexico History

there are many animals about.  Some on the ground



Some of them were in the sky



and some in the mind in the rocks in the sky



Life is growing out of the rocks





Some of the life in the rocks like this ammonite is 400 mil. Yrs old



Some of the rocks are very special



Some of the wood is as old as the rocks



Some of the life left rocks behind that they lived in. 



All in all the geology is dramatic



The area of ancient life is the Mesa TAS



Most life in these areas were fed by the water falls



We are on our way to the big water fall



Along the way we see the writings of past travelers





No one said this climb would be easy



But the view made it worth it! At last the


photographer gets in a picture. 


A funny thing happened the next week on the way to the ranch.

Spotted three bison (yep buffalo) walking the fence line. You have

not lived until you have rounded up 3 buffalo and got them thought

the gate.  And to answer the other question, no we have never seen

buffalo on the ranch before.  Someday wandering through those

magical valleys I can see the small heard that was started today.
