Yesterday I was a volunteer driver for the director of the city museum and an Ameri-Corp photographer. I took them to the ghost town (Los Fuertes), the mining ruins in Pecos, the Pecos National Monument, and the valley churches. This trip was designed to get the county’s sites into the city’s photo database to be used for tourism and other advertising venues.

They were blown away by the places shown and the scenery that the county is blessed with. Canyons and hidden corners of the county that a visitor would be hard pressed to find. I expected to receive enthusiasm for the day’s show and tell, but the photographer was just amazed. He kept saying that “This is even better than the last place!”

It was a good day to be me.
