laughter and stories. We have no cell phone service. An afternoon shower can find you curled up with a blanket in the nose of your horse trailer listening to the rain on the roof.
We take a day off and visit the Pecos Pueblo Monument, the outpost where the Pueblo Indians and the Spanish were attacked 38 times by the Comanches. Then there is the return drive home. You have to empty and clean the trailer so she is ready to roll again. I am blessed that I ride with photographers who have an eye to capture the moment. Late nights I marvel at those photographs and their ability to transport me back to the high country. I highly recommend the Pecos Wilderness and Jack’s Creek Equestrian Area. See you there next summer!
Pecos National Historical Park is a United States National Historical Park in New Mexico. The park encompasses thousands of acres of landscape infused with historical elements from prehistoric archaeological ruins to 19th-century ranches, to a battlefield of the American Civil War. Its largest single feature is Pecos Pueblo, a Native American community abandoned in historic times. First a state mon-
ument in 1935, it was made
Pecos National Monument in
1965.
