A Day In The Life - 7/02: Cloudcroft, NM

After leaving Carlsbad we headed towards Tucson but made a couple of stops along the way. The first (no pictures, darn it) was at a little roadside stand that sold jams, jellies, nuts and a variety of trinkets. They also had a mini-farm with pigs, llamas and goats. It was over grown with huge old trees which made it a very shady, pleasant place to stop. We bought several jars of jams for my home teaching families (and one of pumpkin butter for us).
Farther down the road was the town of Cloudcroft, which I always want to refer to as Cloud City - too much Star Wars, I guess. It is a touristy little town dressed up in old west store-front facades with lots of antique, jewelry and western wear stores, food, outdoor gear and a bar or two, which may have been the attraction for all of the bikers that were there as well. I had to get a really cool belt that looks like it has barbed wire in it, with the matching wallet. IT was a very fun place to stop.
