Dos Cloudcroft

 Just did a little touring and wine and artisinal cheese tasting today. Cloudcroft is a popular place for Texans to spend the summer. Just as surely as the northerners come to the valley to escape cold winters, Texans come here to escape the heat. At 8000ft elevation summers are quite mild. In fact we will get near freezing before the week is out. Neat little village, touristy in some ways, quiet and comfortable in others. We have been here before and will return again. Also drove out to Bluff springs and ended the evening with friends around a campfire and the obligatory marsh mellow roast. Tomorrow we plan a return to White Sands National Monument, Maggie wants a new magnet.
