Salinas Missions NM

I spent the night at Valley of Fire, a lava field, and walk the nature trail both last night and this morning. Most of the day I spent at the three locations of Salinas Missions National monument, three large Indian Pueblos, that were Christianized by the Spaniards in the 1620. In the evening, I visited Bosque de Apache Wildlife Refuge. It’s mainly a bird sanctuary for birds migrating between North and South America. Not too many bots today unfortunately, problem of the season, and it’s too windy, but I see ducks, deer, turkeys, and Javelina. Generally, in New Mexico, drives along and attractions spread out.Læs mere
