we left roswell today and continued to drive south into the desert. julia was pretty quiet, and when i asked her, she admitted that she was truely done with the road. (again, i cant blame her, the road gets long in the desert). at the beginning of this trip we had an agreement that if it didnt work out for whatever reason, she could fly home. we called her dad and he has made arrangements for her to fly out of san antonio next wednesday. it’s all good.
ahead, in the distance we see the sacramento mountains, and the lincoln national forest. we are headed to cloudcroft, to visit my friend, laura. i’d met laura in august at the standing bear sundance. laura & i became kindred souls and she’d said “if you are ever in new mexico…” so here we are, in new mexico, on our way up the mountain to see her :o)
she lives in a 120+ year old farm house, and we immediately felt at home. we visited for the afternoon and she was in the middle of cooking for a hunting lodge, so we went with her further into the mountains to deliver a nice, hot, home-cooked meal to the hunters. it was pretty cool, yep. we spent the night in her comfy bed and it felt good to be home :o)
julia fell in love with laura right away, and decided that she would come back maybe next year to stay a while and aunt laura will teach her to make teepees.
just outside laura’s living room windows there is a little waterfall that leads into the clearest little pond i’ve ever seen:
