Meanwhile, At The Corral

For the first time since I had the Jeep's brakes done, I took a drive in it over to the corral and entrance gate to Six Mile Canyon.

Due to extreme fire danger, the Cibola National Forest is closed. Six Mile Canyon is part of the national forest as is the shooting area.

The gate was locked shut and there's a big notice posted indicating Six Mile Canyon was closed. There was also a big sign at the shooting area as well.

Speaking of the shooting area, I observed a vehicle there and notified the McKinley County Sheriff. We were requested to do so at last Saturday's meeting. The vehicle left before the sheriff arrived (he responded in eight minutes). I was about to cancel the call but he arrived before I could do so. We chatted a bit.

On the way home, I stopped at friend Nandoh's house and we visited a bit. He was working on his 1964 Jeep CJ5.

The little rain we had yesterday did wonders with the dust that was in the air. The air was nice and fresh despite the winds we are having today. The temperature was in the 60s, but it is to get warmer out tomorrow.
