Snow road in the Guadalupe’s

Last year was different type of year for Bonnie and I as I was president of the co-op board of directors and I stayed close to the ranch. The term of the office was one year starting in November first Wednesday. We took our winter trip, but shorter time leaving the ranch later in December, getting snow going over the mountains in Texas, The Guadalupe’s at six thousand feet a wet snow falling for twenty miles, I just held a slow steady speed weaving around some stopped vehicles, the windshield fogging up but not stopping.

After that just cold and rain most of the way to Deming, NM where we stopped for the next two nights. Then we continued on to Arizona spending the remainder of the trip there. Carole, Jackie and Avery stopped in Mesa for a few nights before continuing on to Oakland, California. We went to Yuma, a couple of times and Quartzsite and back to Phoenix area before heading back to the ranch.

Superbowl Sunday

 
We traveled to Austin, Texas for the first time in may for a week and another week of travel time, other than that we (Buster) were at the ranch Lakewood, NM. Twelve hundred and twenty six miles to Arizona trip and nine hundred and eighty eight miles for Austin.

The summer was spent building out a shed for the ranch laundry room. The shell was purchased and we the ranch members finished the inside.
