Cuba , New Mexico during October 25-27 was very pleasant.  It is a place we would go to again but in warmer weather since the campgrounds were up in the mountains at 8200 feet elevation, a month earlier would have been great.  We stayed at Clear Creek National Forest Campground for $5. night (senior pass), on NM Hwy126  with beautiful Ponderosa Pines.

On this mountain, the public land is available to ranchers for open grazing.

These ranchers use a more modern method, while the grandsons waved a feed sack so the cows would follow them home.

I call this the flying cow picture. Does the cow on the left look like all four hooves are off the ground?

This big boy didn't understand the meaning of the cattle guard at our campground entrance. He really liked the grass at the back of our camp site.

This great little Grill inside the 
Phillips 66 is where we had our first taste of 
Fry Bread and fresh Green Chilies.  
Caliente!  Yum. Yum.
