It had been longer than a year since I last was in Six Mile Canyon of the Cibola National Forest that backs our community in Jamestown, New Mexico.
The last time I was there was around June of 2018 with Mitch Geriminsky in his truck.

I decided to take a drive into the canyon in the Jeep after a break.
The 1952 Willys Jeep M38A1 took the road quite well. The road was in relatively good shape with only a few rough spots.

Just before entering the national forest, a civilian truck and a national forest ranger truck were exiting.
I decided to go about three miles into the canyon and turn around near where the windmill is located. Along the way, there was a work crew about a quarter mile north of the area of the windmill. On the way back, three large trucks were coming in. One driver asked if there was a work crew up ahead. I told him, "Yes, about a quarter mile ahead." When the trucks approached, I pulled to the side. It was a lot easier for me to do so than it would be for them.

Also along the way, I saw one cow grazing along the road. I saw no others.
I figured I'd best take a drive into the canyon before it is closed for the winter.
