While travelling last night I early this morning my car started
making a worrisome noise at the rear front end. I slipped into
I-25 to I-40
Galup, New Mexico, where I could get local help from known
folks. Al Charles suggested getting my Subaru worked on at
Pueblo Chevrolet, and Al Schneider kindly consented to putting
me up while my car is in the shop. After dropping the car off,
Al Schneider took me down to Junii to see what hikes we could
find at our former home. Our visit was a brief one, 10:45
to 15:30. We visited the Canyon Glen Blackrock Dam, scoped
Blackrock Lake, walked the west end of Blackrock Bosque, briefly
visited the west end of Native Lake #2, and scoped Native Lakes #3 & 4,
and Native Division Reservoir. We then returned to Gallup via
State Highway 602 (old Highway 52), retracing our earlier route to
the reservation.
Weather today was warm, 80-85°F, cloudless, with light
westerly breezes, increasing to 5-15 mph westerly winds after
14:30.
