These are from last Tuesday at the Hereford Municipal Golf Course, trying to capture the Beaver Moon.

Estas fotos son del martes pasado en el campo de golf municipal de Hereford, intentando capturar la Luna del Castor.

The Sunday before last at Palo Duro Canyon State Park I hiked a variation of a loop of the Capitol Peak Trail system, while exploring pinnacles. Another magical sunset with the combination of the Beaver Moon and the sun, had that red rock glowing.

El domingo antepasado, en el Parque Estatal del Cañón de Palo Duro, hice una variación de ruta circular del sistema de senderos del sendero Capitol Peak, explorando los pinåculos. Otro atardecer mågico, con la luna Beaver y el sol, tenia la piedra roja brillando.

Last Saturday, the Beaver Moon and the sun provided some pretty light at golden hour. I know, it’s November but I had to go back to Lake Meredith. This is out near the Windmill Campground along Plum Creek and in the No Hunting Zone. Most of the trees along the creek were holding on strong to their green leaves.

El såbado pasado, la luna Beaver y el sol proporcionaron una luz preciosa durante la hora dorada. Ya sé que es noviembre, pero tenía que volver al lago Meredith. Esto estå cerca del campamento Windmill, junto al arroyo Plum, en zona de no caza. La mayoría de los årboles a lo largo del arroyo conservaban sus hojas verdes con fuerza.

The Llano Estacado was calling again. Last Friday I drove over a little past Grady, NM and down Highway 278 to the rim. I found a small road following the rim, I noticed a small tank of water all the road and figured it had to be private property. I followed the road until you guessed it, private property. I followed the fence to the edge of the rim and followed the rim until it took me back to the main road, after that I made my way back to my truck. I didn’t make it to where I wanted but these views were not so bad.

El Llano Estacado me llamo de nuevo. El viernes pasado conduje un poco mås allå de Grady, Nuevo México, y tomé la carretera 278 hasta el borde. Encontré un pequeño camino que seguía el borde, vi un pequeño tanque de agua a lo largo del camino y pensé que debe ser propiedad privada. Seguí el camino hasta que, ya lo adivinaste, era propiedad privada. Seguí la cerca hasta el borde del rin y lo seguí hasta que me llevó de vuelta a la calle principal; después, regresé a mi camioneta. No llegué a donde quería, pero las vistas no estaban tan malas.

Last Sunday I made way back out to Caprock Canyons State Park. I took the North Prong Spur up to the intersection and took a right on the Lower Prong Trail Loop. I wanted to make it out to where the North Prong Little Red River winds and get catch the sunset there but again my relaxed planning got me behind schedule again. I made it to the edge overlooking the first river crossing just in time for the sunset. There was a bison on the trail on my way back but it was pretty dark so the photo quality isn’t the best. I’m always having to remind myself to keep walking during the sunset, I can stay in one spot and take countless photos as I’m trying to capture the last bit of light left in the day and forget that it’s getting dark and I have to make it back to my truck. So again, I had a feeling I was going to see a bison on the trail but there I was mesmerized with the red rock, takes me back to the trails of Sedona, Arizona, kicking up rocks, and chasing sunsets. I miss Arizona so much. 😞

El domingo pasado regresĂ© al Parque Estatal Caprock Canyons. TomĂ© el North Prong Spur hasta la intersecciĂłn y girĂ© a la derecha por el Lower Prong Trail Loop. QuerĂ­a llegar hasta donde serpentea el rĂ­o Little Red de North Prong y ver el atardecer, pero mi planificaciĂłn relajada me retrasĂł. LleguĂ© al borde, con vistas al primer cruce del rĂ­o, justo a tiempo para el atardecer. HabĂ­a un bisonte en el sendero de regreso, pero estaba bastante oscuro, asĂ­ que la calidad del foto no es lo mejor. Siempre tengo que recordarme a mĂ­ mismo que debo seguir caminando durante el atardecer; puedo quedarme en un lugar y tomar innumerables fotos mientras intento capturar la Ășltima luz del dĂ­a y olvidar que estĂĄ oscureciendo y tengo que volver a mi camioneta. AsĂ­ que, de nuevo, presentĂ­ que iba a ver un bisonte en el sendero, pero allĂ­ estaba hipnotizado con la piedad roja; me recuerda a los senderos de Sedona, Arizona, pateando piedritas y persiguiendo atardeceres. Extraño muchĂ­simo Arizona. 😞

Last Saturday I was planning to hike at Lake Meredith near the dam. I parked at the overlook that I went to last time I was there. I hiked down towards the water and came upon a gate so I had to turn back and figure out a plan B. I drove to other side of the dam and parked near the concrete drain. I found a short trail that took me down the hill and across the rocks. I didn’t feel like taking the trail back so I went up the rocks and out to the road above the dam. I was crossing the road several times trying to capture both sides. Then I got questioned by a black van if I was okay, after that a red truck heading towards Sanford stops in the middle of the road to ask if I’m okay, the driver then proceeds to get down, it looked like he was looking for something behind his seat, I yelled, “yeah, I’m good,” and he quickly gets back in his truck and speeds off, and finally I get questioned by two sheriff deputies, yikes! Every time I’ve driven down the dam road I always wondered what it would look like to capture those views.

El sĂĄbado pasado planeaba hacer senderismo en el lago Meredith, cerca de la presa. Me estacionĂ© en el mirador que visitĂ© la Ășltima vez que estuve allĂ­. BajĂ© hacia al agua y me encontrĂ© con una cerca, asĂ­ que tuve que dar la vuelta y pensar en un plan B. Conduje hasta el otro lado de la presa y me estacionĂ© cerca del drenaje de concreto. EncontrĂ© un sendero corto que me llevĂł abajo del cerro y a travĂ©s de las rocas. No me apetecĂ­a volver por el sendero, asĂ­ que subĂ­ por las piedras y salĂ­ a la carretera que estĂĄ sobre la presa. CrucĂ© la carretera varias veces intentando capturar ambos lados. Luego una camioneta negra me preguntĂł si estaba bien. DespuĂ©s, una camioneta roja que iba hacia Sanford se detuvo en medio de la carretera para preguntarme si estaba bien. El conductor se bajĂł; parecĂ­a que buscaba algo detrĂĄs de su asiento. GritĂ©: "ÂĄSĂ­, estoy bien!". RĂĄpidamente volviĂł a su camioneta y se fue a toda velocidad. Finalmente, dos agentes del sheriff me interrogaron. ÂĄUf! Cada vez que he conducido por la carretera de la presa, siempre me he preguntado cĂłmo serĂ­a capturar esas vistas.

The Sunday before last I drove back out to Palo Duro Canyon. I parked at the Soapberry Day Use Area and started my hike from there. I took the Soapberrry Spur and connected to the Upper Comanche Trail. I decided to attempt reaching Sorensen Point again but decided to head back down since it was getting dark. I was so close.

El domingo pasado volví al Cañón Palo Duro. Me estacioné en el årea de uso diurno de Soapberry y comencé mi caminata desde allí. Tomé el ramal de Soapberry y conecté con el sendero Upper Comanche. Decidí intentar llegar a la Punta Sorensen de nuevo, pero decidí bajar porque estaba anocheciendo. Estaba tan cerca.

Last Saturday I went back to Lake Meredith and was planning to hike in the Bugbee Cove area but couldn’t figure out where to start. I drove down the road a bit and parked at the overlook right before reaching the dam. I hiked down the road and made my way to the edge overlooking the first cove. I wanted to catch the sunset on the little hill but someone beat me to it.

El såbado pasado volví al lago Meredith y planeaba hacer senderismo en la zona de Bugbee Cove, pero no sabía por dónde empezar. Conduje un poco por la carretera y me estacioné en el mirador justo antes de llegar a la presa. Caminé por la calle y llegué hasta el borde con vistas a la primera cala. Quería ver el atardecer en el pequeño cerro, pero alguien se me adelantó.

Last Friday I wanted to check out the Harguess Hollow Park south of San Jon but learned that it has been long sold off to Leeward Energy - Caprock Wind. I still drove out there and decided to do a little exploring on the opposite side of the road. I’m fascinated with the geography of the Llano Estacado, reminds me a bit of the Mongollon Rim in Arizona.

El viernes pasado quise visitar el Parque Harguess Hollow al sur de San Jon, pero me enteré de que hace tiempo que se vendió a Leeward Energy - Caprock Wind. Aun así, conduje hasta allí y decidí explorar un poco al otro lado de la carretera. Me fascina la geografía del Llano Estacado; me recuerda un poco al Mongollon Rim en Arizona.

Last Saturday I wanted some solitude so I drove out to Quitaque to the Caprock Canyons State Park Trailway. I parked at Monk’s Crossing and hiked to the Clarity Tunnel. I didn’t want to go through the tunnel because I heard some bats and didn’t want to bother them too much. I made myself to the other side from the top. On my way back I wanted to wait a little and see if the bats would make their way out. I noticed this jeep pull up as I was making my way back down, have no idea how it made it to the tunnel. I started walking back in the dark when I spot multiple lights up ahead, oh great! It ended up being the park rangers looking for the jeep and because of my bad habits I get another reprimand. 😕 The views were amazing though!

El sĂĄbado pasado querĂ­a un poco de soledad, asĂ­ que conduje hasta Quitaque al Caprock Canyons State Park Trailway. Me estacionĂ© en Monk's Crossing y caminĂ© hasta el Clarity Tunnel. No querĂ­a caminar por el tĂșnel porque oĂ­ algunos murciĂ©lagos y no querĂ­a molestarlos demasiado. Me las arreglĂ© para llegar al otro lado desde arriba. De regreso, quise esperar un poco y ver si los murciĂ©lagos salĂ­an. Vi que un jeep se detuvo mientras bajaba, no tengo idea de cĂłmo llegĂł al tĂșnel. EmpecĂ© a caminar de regreso en la oscuridad cuando vi varias luces mĂĄs adelante, ÂĄno, pues guau! Terminaron siendo los guardabosques buscando el jeep y, debido a mis malos hĂĄbitos, recibĂ­ otra reprimenda. 😕 ÂĄPero las vistas estaban increĂ­bles!

Last Sunday I made my way back to Lake Meredith and did a little exploring at the Blue West Campground. Yes folks, there is water in the lake, my last few posts were taken on the far end of the lake.

El domingo pasado volvĂ­ al lago Meredith y explorĂ© un poco por el campamento de Blue West. SĂ­, gente, si hay agua en el lago; mis Ășltimas publicaciones fueron en el otro lado extremo del lago.

On Saturday I drove out to Caprock Canyons State Park. I parked at the Wild Horse Campground and took the Wild Horse Trail down into the canyons, I made a right and connected up to the ridge on the Mesa Trail. I took a little break and continued on back down the Mesa Trail to the canyon floor, took a left on Lower Canyon Trail, then connected straight up again on the Wild Horse Trail. Pretty rugged and secluded out there, I was hoping to see more of the red cliff walls along Highway 256 but I think I was too far back from them.

El såbado maneje al Parque Estatal Caprock Canyons. Me estacioné en el campamento de Wild Horse y tomé el sendero Wild Horse que bajaba hacia los cañones. Giré a la derecha y subí a la cresta por el sendero Mesa. Me tome un pequeño descanso y continué bajando por el sendero Mesa hasta el fondo del cañón, giré a la izquierda en el sendero Lower Canyon y volví a subir directamente con el sendero Wild Horse. El paisaje era bastante escabroso y aislado; esperaba ver mås de las paredes rojas de los acantilados a lo largo de la carretera 256, pero creo que estaba demasiado retirado de ellas.
