Visit Questa, New Mexico
Questa is the northern gateway to the Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway that surrounds the highest peak in New Mexico, but our village stands in contrast to the resort towns on the east side of the mountains.
A half-hour north of Taos, we are one in a long string of small, historic towns that scattered up the Rio Grande from what is now Mexico into southern Colorado in the 18th and 19th centuries. Questa was officially founded in 1842. A rough and remote location, it was vulnerable to Ute raids for generations.

NM True OVERviews-Heron Lake State Park
Heron Lake State Park sits on a reservoir that feeds into the Rio Chama in far northern New Mexico. It operates as a quiet lake, meaning no watercraft can kick up a wake.
The calm open waters make it ideal for sailing, canoeing and kayaking. It is also a big draw for anglers, offering trophy-sized trout and kokanee salmon.

Mountain Lakes of Northern New Mexico
I took these photos of lakes high in the mountains of northern New Mexico over the last ten years. I share them here to inspire awe and wonder at the beauty of Nature. My hope in doing so is that you will be inspired to care for Mother Earth - and one another. There is little time left for humanity to wake up to the problems we are causing on this magnificent blue planet.
A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is the earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.

Nevada
Nevada is a state in the western, mountain west, and southwestern regions of the United States. Nevada is the 7th most extensive, the 35th most populous, and the 9th least densely populated of the 50 United States. Nearly three-quarters of Nevada's people live in Clark County, which contains the Las Vegas--Paradise metropolitan area where the state's three largest incorporated cities are located. Nevada's capital is Carson City. Nevada is officially known as the Silver State due to the importance of silver to its history and economy. It is also known as the Battle Born State, because it achieved statehood during the Civil War; Sagebrush State, for the native eponymous plant; and Sage hen State.

The Cruise of the Snark Audiobook by Jack London | Full Audiobook with subtitles
The Cruise of the Snark (1913) is a memoir of Jack and Charmian London's 1907-1909 voyage across the Pacific. His descriptions of surf-riding, which he dubbed a royal sport, helped introduce it to and popularize it with the mainland. London writes: Through the white crest of a breaker suddenly appears a dark figure, erect, a man-fish or a sea-god, on the very forward face of the crest where the top falls over and down, driving in toward shore, buried to his loins in smoking spray, caught up by the sea and flung landward, bodily, a quarter of a mile. It is a Kanaka on a surf-board. And I know that when I have finished these lines I shall be out in that riot of colour and pounding surf, trying to bit those breakers even as he, and failing as he never failed, but living life as the best of us may live it. Excerpted from Wikipedia.
