Sue, As I may have said, I have been on some very "Rough Roads" in my 75 years of traveling through the Rocky Mountains and the Southwest, it is byfar one of the Ugliest! Have talked to the rangers and they are serious about leaving that way! In someways it makes sense! It is a Very Special Place! Unfortunately the average person seems to want to leave their mark.
I don't know if you are farmilier with the Stone in the Opening that marked various time of the year. I think it was the Winter Solstice, I maybe wrong. Anyway several years ago someone came in and moved it from it's place!
VERY SAD!
Late fall and early Spring(if the wind is not blowing) my most favorite time to visit Chaco! Less people and just a Magical Time to sit and Meditate on top of a msea!
I have had some truly Mystical Experiences at Chaco!
So back to my moving! Have a lot of different statues, bowls, and other mementoes in the living roon and dinning room. All one room! Packed up four boxes this morning! Just a start! My releastate agent when she was going through the house with me just shock her head!
She says you have a lot to move! I have given myself three months to clean ou and list the house! In NM when winter comes my yard turns from beautiful shrubs and vines to what we call "Albuquerque Brown!"
We took picture in the early to mid fall when vines were still green and Trees had a little yellow and red for the listing!
So time has come!
Some of the problem is I have no one to help! My family wants to sell the house but they don't want to come down and help! Plus with whatever I have, Lyme Disease, Fibromyalgia or who knows what somewhat limits me as to how much I can do at a time before things set in!
But I will get it done!
Enjoy the rest of winter.
I used to work for National Car Rental when it was located in Minniapolis. Was in town usually one to two times a month for meetings or coming back into the US on my way home! Have had some very wonderful times there! Probably even left a few of my Brain Cells there. I used to stay at the Sofetel! One of my favorite hotel chains in the world at that time! The food was always Incredable!
Hope you have a good week!
From The Land of Enchantment!
