Remote and stark conditions, surrounded by such amazing natural beauty - going must have been as hard as staying. The furnace colors are spectacular! Great moon capture over Winona - like a spotlight from the heavens.

And when I think how many couples were in arranged marriages, or married for convenience (first wife died, second wife was taken on to take care of the house and existing children...), so many women were essentially forced into pioneer mode because that is what their husband wanted to do and they end up working their fingers to the bone in wretched conditions. I know, some women may have been happy to be pioneers, but many were not. (Can you tell I recently read a book about pioneers and this part is what came to mind when I saw your cabin photos!?)Metamorphosis Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637866156639686101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-33940279373432196852014-10-03T10:32:03.519-04:002014-10-03T10:32:03.519-04:00How cool to be able to see all that, and with a fu...How cool to be able to see all that, and with a full moon too.

I hope I can make it back before it gets too cold.<br /><br />It is interesting to me how accessible all the petroglyphs appear to be, after having spent that week in Hueco Tanks in Texas, where a permit was required, and you couldn't get near most of them without a guide. Given the quality and quantity versus here, I think they were a tad over-protective!Suzannehttp://www.taketothehighway.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-60918391289276876832014-10-03T08:30:37.532-04:002014-10-03T08:30:37.532-04:00So beautiful ... the red rocks catch fire when the...So beautiful ... the red rocks catch fire when the light is right.
