An Irresistible Sunrise, South Monticello Point, Elephant Butte Lake State Park, Elephant Butte NM, April 4, 2009
An irresistible sunrise
In one of those wonderful serendipitous moments I caught my friend Kate doing exactly what I was doing - trying to capture the glory of another New Mexico sunrise over Elephant Butte Lake. Check out Kate's photography on her blog, Kate and Terry - Travels in Cholula Red: Thoughts and musings as we travel in our Lazy Daze Motorhome.
Kate and Terry's website about their life with Cholula Red were a significant factor in my decision to search out a Class C for my first RV and a Lazy Daze in particular. It's been one of my better decisions. Thanks Kate.

Hobnobbing with Brigham Young
The day following my arrival in the flourishing City of the Saints, as they called it then and still call it, I very unexpectedly met and formed the acquaintance of Brigham Young. I was riding along at the head of my flock of sheep when a stoutly built, florid faced genteel-looking man, whose hair was just turning gray, walked down to the street from one of the most pretentious residences in the place and inquired whose sheep I had charge of.
