| On the road to the Cliff Dwellings |
Since
I moved here in April, I’ve had a lovely gang of visitors. Lucky me! My most
recent visitor was my brother. I drove the 200 miles to Tucson, (the most
convenient big airport) and we drove back, arriving in SC as night settled.
Meaning that it was pitch black the last 50 miles of the nowhere land between
Lordsburg and Silver City. We unloaded the car, and walked across the street
for a late dinner, then walked Seamus around the block as I explained the
layout of the city. I live in the heart of the arts/historic/lively downtown.
My brother turned to me at one point and said, “So you’re telling me you live in
the Manhattan of Silver City.” Ha ha-only he could have nailed it down so succinctly.
The
great thing about visitors, especially ones that you really like, is that you
go places you haven’t been, or you go back to places and get a chance to see
them anew. And that’s just what my brother and I did. Here are some pics:

The City of Rocks about 30 miles outside of Silver City is a really neat place to scramble around too. And just a note about the following picture: My brother was not trying to re-enact the Boy Scout Leaders' destruction of a 165 million year old rock formation in Utah's Goblin Valley State Park. He was just having some fun. And no, the rock didn't budge an inch.....

And of course, what would a visit be like without a little turtle search and rescue too?
