The windmill's cows were really keeping an eye on me. Joy-Vernon	We drove back to the White Mountains from Albuquerque today, (5-25-10) on an ancient east-west trail in western New Mexico. The main feature of this area is a National Monument ... a great sandstone promontory with a pool of water at its base. As a shaded oasis in the western U.S. desert, this site has seen many centuries of travelers. The Spaniard explorers called it El Morro (The Headland). Joy-Vernon	The Zuni Indians call it "A'ts'ina" (Place of writings on the rock). Anglo-Americans called it Inscription Rock. Travelers left signatures, names, dates, and stories of their treks. While some of the inscriptions are fading, there are still many that can be seen today, some dating to the 17th century. Joy-Vernon
We have never been on the trail to observe the inscriptions, but it seems it may be a bit too much for us these days. The inscription by Juan de Oñate in 1605 is the oldest historical inscription at El Morro. Some petroglyphs and carvings were made by the Anasazi centuries before Europeans started making their mark. Joy-Vernon	The trout are being released from a special Transport truck from the Fish Hatchery. photo from Colleen	I watched as this trout (one of hundreds) was released into Horseshoe Lake in the White Mts. as part of the restocking program from the Alchesay Fisheries in WhiteRiver.
