Mel... Yes, poor s...Thank you all for stopping by!<br /><br />Mel... Yes, poor sledding season, yours is a little longer down south where you live.<br />Tell me more about the trains in Hatch. I saw the tacks, but didn't see any trains.<br />They do grow mil;d chiles you know. Try 'em, you'll like 'em.<br /><br />Peace to you and all you hold dear Mel<br /><br />Christopher... Funny, in the book I am currently reading, (The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey), he uses that "Americanism", gassing up. Honestly, I wrote that before reading it, it's the way some of us speak. By the way, I find reading the blogs of many across the pond fascinating for the same reasons.<br /><br />Peace to you as well.<br /><br />Shelly... Eating chiles isn't hard on my stomach, really. I have a harder time with cucumbers! And I can't even look at a Pabst Blue Ribbon beer can without a bout of heartburn!<br /><br />Peace to you my friend.<br /><br />katherine... It's not being hardy that gets us through the Winter. It's that I get to go away once in a while to break up the length of it! When I do get to travel, I make it a point to look for and find good food. Looking at scenery gets me hungry.<br />As far as driving the car for people, well, I am a Teamster. It's in my blood.<br /><br />Peace to you and all you hold dear.<br /><br />BE... I do love it down there. I am envious that you spend the Winter there, then return North for Summer. We just have too tight of a bond with the Grandkids to pull that off, but I will spend more time down there, just not live there.<br /><br />Peace my friend.<br /><br />susan... I thought that after the past 3-4 years the water level might be rising again, but they tell me that it might take 20 years of more than average precipitation to bring the level of Elephant Butte lake up to the levels of the 1980's. Something to be aware of everywhere, not just down in New Mexico.<br /><br />Peace.<br /><br /><br />Thanks again.

Your photos are wonderful; a great travelogue all in all! I guess once the Southwest gets into your bones, it keeps a grip on ya. I'm infected. Thanks for this post, and I'm glad you got to do this trip since WI winters are a drag.Billie Greenwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08214111146566550821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-10452003351029352932010-02-26T21:22:39.467-08:002010-02-26T21:22:39.467-08:00I wonder if I could get use to a winter of cold sn...I wonder if I could get use to a winter of cold snow? A week or two no problem. But I don't know about a whole season.<br /><br />You seem to know all the good places to eat.

I chuckled at you "poor sledding" reference, too. <br />I love the images you inserted in the post... the pink pig especially :=) From the sound of it, with all the chiles you consume, you must have a cast iron stomach, Joe!<br />Have a weekend filled with good!This Eclectic Lifehttp://thiseclecticlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-65202583932485357612010-02-26T03:58:55.886-08:002010-02-26T03:58:55.886-08:00Fascinating, Spadoman.

I guess I must not be far enough from the Wisconsin border, huh? <br />;-)<br /><br />It has been a longgg gray winter. And snowy--though less snow for us than a few years back. And cold. Good grief--welcome back to -22 windchill, sir. Betcha didn't miss that one lick!<br /><br />I'm envious, of course--you got to see the pink pig AND have a wander about at Effalump Butt. k....might be a bit of a pronunciation problem but I attribute it to artistic license (whatever that means...).<br /><br />Oh, and the trains at Hatch!! We got some lovely shots of trains and frogs there. Didn't DARE touch the chili's.
