Trip to Capulin National Monument

At the beginning of the day we had the choice between these cars. We took the red Concorde - even thought it was randomly shutting down.


Here we are about 30 miles into our trip around Raton. It restarted every time, so we kept going into rural NM (JM and I secretly got the name and number of a tow truck driver in Raton just in case).


Below - a windmill at another car stoppage.


Everyone out - more fixing the car.


Our weekend goal! The National Park stamping station. JM and I couldn't have been happier than a bee on carpet!






They even had a very very special volcano stamp. More excitement!


Butch wasn't feeling well, but DeWayne helped him see over the wall to see the view from the top of Capulin.


We took the trail into the middle of the volcano and then took the trail around the top. Stunning views. The day was clear and we could see forever.



Leaving Capulin - another car stoppage.....


More problem solving. We made it back to our hotel - the problem nearly solved!
