Vermejo’s Travel Log - 2011

[Vermejo]

Damn, the last few pages have been pure Wanderlust!!

Thanks, Pat!

Those shots look great! Keep up the good work I love seeing the local pics. I just love the old truck and dog.

Thank you! That old truck and dog were very random as I've never seen another soul on the Thunderhead Plains before.

That pup is getting big!

Indeed, she is. Her appetite grows by the day too...

The Rim Trail: Southern New Mexico’s Heavenly Singletrack

Lincoln National Forest - Otero County, NM







View from the Rim Trail—a roller-coaster-like, 20 mile long singletrack outside of Cloudcroft, NM. The trail winds through aspen groves and thick forest along the westernmost edge of the Sacramento Mountains providing a bird’s eye view of White Sands National Monument.

I thought that was your truck headed toward Alamogordo last week. We were headed into LC. Nice pics as always.

What is the story behind that billboard sign? Was it featured in the X-Files or something? And while I'm at it, did that lady loose her arms? LOL

The sign bares the brands of local ranchers—I've been intrigued by it since I was a kid. As for the lady, she's just fine...

EZ Backcountry Prep of Frozen/Premade Tamales

​

No one likes soggy tamales; to elevate them above water, arrange heat resistant objects in pan bottom such as crisscrossed metal utensils to act as a makeshift stand (for deeper pots, use a heat resistant bowl flipped upside-down). Fill pan with enough water to nearly submerge makeshift stand and tightly place tamales together. Cover pan with lid, place over flame and steam for 15 minutes. Grab a Negra Modello and enjoy...
