Up on the Rio Grande

Today we had our regular trip up to the Rio Grande gorge, just south of Taos, so Mom could pick her sage to roll into smudge sticks (which she sells at the fairs at a very good profit, i.e. 500% if you count the gas).

In my Sundance posts from years past, I've attached shots of Mom picking sage, and these are always pretty much the same, so I'll skip that. However, you will want to look at a very nice shot of me up to my belly in the Rio, which I enjoyed very much. (There was also a fly fisherman and a couple of Canada Geese hanging around as I bathed.)

After that, I had a number of good rolls in the Rio grass and mud, of which this is a picture of one.

We couldn't drive through Madrid for the last time this visit without taking a picture of me in front of Maggie's Cafe, where scenes from the movie Wild Hogs (starring John Travolta) were shot. Some of you may not even remember Wild Hogs, or might never have seen it, and our guess is that the days of Maggie's Cafe -- which is not now a 'cafe' but a Wild Hogs souvenir shop -- are numbered.

We're up tomorrow at 4:00 in the morning to fly back to New Hampshire, so this will be the end of my Sundance blog for April, 2011. Hasta luego! Blog ya the next time.
