Today went along better than expected; we reached our destination, Vega, Texas, fairly early, even allowing for picture-taking, looking around Tucumcari and having a leisurely supper at the Chinese restaurant there. Vega is kind of a wide spot in the road, smaller even than Mancos, but the hometown of an old friend and former boss.We got an early enough start that I turned off in Thompson Park east of Mancos and went south toward Farmington through Cherry Creek Canyon. It's one of my favorite drives, but one that I hadn't a chance to show Sandy yet. The early morning sun gave us some good views ... and made us certain to pack a lunch and go back for a leisurely day of picture-taking.
The picture posted is one of the views I really liked ... the harvested cornfield in the foreground, pastures beyond and the La Platas in their snowy mantles beyond, looking at them from the south. TV
