Plan for this trip

Today we will be driving in to Lincoln National Forest and down to Alamagardo to see Ham the Astrochimps grave and then get some pistachios before heading to Mescalero Reservation.

Day 6 – November 22nd

Apache Canyon Trading Post

First stop on the trip was this ytrading post but it was closed sadly.

 

ABO Elementary School and Fallout Shelter

Second stop is at the this shelter.

Sadly all you can see is the outside of it, would’ve been cool to see inside it.

Tom & Pam Runyan Ranches

A well worth stop, my honey fell in love with an Angora goat there. Also got some yummy snacks for the trip.

 

Cloudcroft

Stopped here to stretch our legs and get some food. I had one of the yummiest burgers in a long time.

Apple Boy

Stopped here to get a picture of the Apple Boy. There was an interesting shop where you could get all kind of goodies.

Grave of Ham the Astrochimp

Was just a quick stop here as we was running a bit late. So didn’t go into the museum.

Last stop before heading to the hotel is a pile scrap that they used to build a statue of a roadrunner.

Our rest stop this day is in Ruidosa, next is a valley of fire and some white sands.
