MORE OF LOS ALAMOS, NEW MEXICO

On Wednesday, April 18th after going to Los Alamos Museum for the WWII Manhattan Project, we stopped for lunch at The Hollar

in a quaint little mining town where you could buy anything from soup to nuts, especially jewelry!!

Thought we would have lunch here, but the sign at
the steps said that the Diner was not open as such.
It is just a store and was not open when we stopped.

This was another location of a diner, but was not serving
food at this time!! We just might have to go hungry!!

This was a train engine that hauled coal out from the mine.

Flag at half mast in memory of Former First
Lady, Barbara Bush's death. 

 

The museum had interesting information about the Indians of this area.

Pottery from the Zuni tribes.

Pottery from the Tewa tribes.

Items found in the area by archaeology research people.

I loved the pottery replicas enhancing the highway medians.

 Of course the scenery along the highway was awesome!!.  Sometimes I had the camera out and sometimes, not. 
We often wonder what keeps the rocks in place!!

And the Ranch signs were interesting as well. There were much newer ones, but that not being history, I did not bother with the camera. 

The year 1937 on this one was interesting.

On Saturday, April 21st, we arrived at Monument, Colorado just north of Colorado Springs, at a park we stayed in on our previous trip through here. It was a long drive of eight hours and that is not our usual length of trip. Too long and some wind so we were so glad for it to end!!  Except for the muddy ground caused by the snow the night before we arrived, that is!!  And Gary drove it all.
We will be here for the week. But we are hoping that the snow is about over across the north west!!
 In spite of the snow the next day, there were many signs of spring.
