Finally, I took the first drive into Cibola National Forest's Six Mile Canyon near Jamestown, New Mexico today.
Until the beginning of this month, the Jeep had been out of commission since late May. I got the problem (a short or something with the coil that fried the points in the distributor) earlier this month. I also got new tires for the Jeep. So she was ready to go.
It is amazing how green plant life has gotten once we started getting some rain. That, plus flowers, made the canyon look like springtime.
During the drive, there were many cattle grazing along the road. They belong to a local rancher who has a deal with the Forest Service to have his cattle graze in the national forest. This helps in keeping down the fuel for fires.
It was an enjoyable drive. The new tires made handling a lot easier.
