Our visit to Wild Spirit was a lovely experience. We were given a tour by a very knowlegeable young man who had come to work at the Sanctuary from Boston last August, for 2 months only, loved the job so much, fell in love with New Mexico, and is still here. The sanctuary is manned by volunteers who are provided with very basic lodging. As it is located a couple of hours' drive from the nearest town of any size, volunteers have to be dedicated to the job and not afraid of hard work. At present the sanctuary houses 53 wolves, and wolf-dogs, rescued from abuse, tansferred from zoos which had to close, and from private owners who could no longer cope.
Photos of the wolves are from both cameras, mine and my husband's (his are better!)
On the way back from Wild Spirit we took a short detour to see El Morro - an enormous cliff, a National Monument. The cliff stands on the old route taken by early Spanish explorers and soldiers, as well as in the lands previously occupied by early Native tribes, Anasazi, Pueblo and others. The walls of the cliff bear petroglyphs and engraved messages dating from around 1100, through the 1600s right up to the early 20th century, when El Morro, including Inscription Rock, was made a National Monument
From tomorrow we'll head eastward, across New Mexico to Texas - exact destination unknown. Maybe there'll be more to come here, maybe not.
