John Dunne.
Horse thief. Murderer. Outlaw. Teller of Tales.
Texan.
John Dunne arrived in Taos 120 years ago and fell in love with the isolation.
So he built a bridge across the Rio Grande to make it easier for people to get to Taos.
Then he complained that there were too many people in Taos.
No, this isn't the bridge Dunn built.
But he did build his bridge ...
his toll bridge
I mean a guys gotta make his money ...
he built his bridge here where the Rio Hondo
joins the Rio Grande
I wanted to point out that it's still winter here
and I reluctantly added this second pic of the bridge
so that you can see there is snow remaining
on the north side of hill.
If pictures of melting snow isn't your thing
how about some rocks?
All the rocks here are volcanic
and, to me, have a surprising amount of color in them.
I should say "almost all are volcanic"
At the very bottom of this cliff face is a thin base layer of sandstone
which is actually probably the most interesting part of the rocks.
I will save that for next time
And now,
after all that metal and rock,
I'll end with a bit of humanity.
A very little bit
