Alto - Ruidoso, NM


A photo looking N/W with the Apache Mountain Ski area at the top of this photo. Quite a few of those houses seen in this photo are strictly summer homes.

This photo shows part of the western side of Ruidoso and one of the golf courses in the center. Alto is just on the other side of the mountain range seen in the center of this photo.

Alto - Ruidoso, NM


During the last couple weeks we have been trying to get out into some of the wilderness areas but, unfortunately, have just not been able due to the damaged roads that are still being repaired as a result of flooding rains that occurred in July. So before we leave in a few weeks thought a couple photo's of this area would be better than none. Since we will be returning to our winter home in Arizona, this will conclude our blog for this year. Thanks to all for traveling along with us.
The above photo was taken at a small lake just down the road from our RV site and is a peaceful place to walk as well as to fish.

Little Creek RV, Alto, NM


We have finished our journey from Colorado Springs, CO to Alto, NM (southeastern part of the state @ 7100 ft). Alto is not far from Ruidoso which is where we spent two weeks in July. While there we came across this neat RV park and decided to stay here before we start heading back to our winter home in Arizona. Since the entire forest was closed the last time we were here, will try to get out and see a little of a very beautiful national forest.

Took this photo from the roadway. This is a fairly small RV park but very well laid out. That guy on the right side of this photo was sitting in one of the glider swings with his two dogs.

A nice look at the park office (which is also the owners home in the rear).

This will be our home for the next 30 days.

Looking west from the park. That's Apache Mtn in the background and where all come to ski during the winter.

Of course just had to post a photo of Arianna. She certainly prefers weeds over the rocks.
