Thank you! It had two open signs and one closed sign but it appeared to be closed. I looked it up and I'm a little sad I didn't get to go to the lowrider museum. The couple that owns it seems awesome.

Oh, is this how it's always been? I assumed it was drying up like other rivers.

Robyn @handcranked.bsky.social · 3h

Shoot, I can't help with that one.

If you like Jesus, snow cones, chiles, low riders, and art, have I got the place for you...

A closed wooden stand that's haphazardly covered in hand-painted signs for Jesus, snow cones, chiles, art, and a low rider museum. There's a painting of Jesus just above a painting of a blue low rider. An American flag hangs next to Jesus.

Beautiful!

Thanks so much, P!

Robyn @handcranked.bsky.social · 4h

So sad. We saw it in the Santa Fe area too and it looked dry in spots.

Robyn @handcranked.bsky.social · 4h

Very true!

Here's the song. Just the most beautiful song I know.

The Mighty Rio Grande

Played my favorite song while visiting the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge but the river is no longer mighty. There's sadly very little water in it.

A long arch bridge across a tall gorge and the Rio Grande at sunset. There are a few puffs of pink clouds above it and volcanic rocks and desert plants in the foreground.

A lone black Lada Niva sits at the edge of a rocky slope in the Tien Shan mountain range, dwarfed by the immense, snow-draped peaks rising sharply under a shifting sky.

Yes! I'm glad I'd done my research so we had a backup plan.

Robyn @handcranked.bsky.social · 1d

I was glad I knew about this from my research. It was about 45 minutes from Bandelier. I was interested in going to Tent Rocks too but it's a national monument as well so we didn't want to risk it being closed.

Robyn @handcranked.bsky.social · 1d

It's a pretty small but great site owned by Native Americans. You have to take a tour to see it, which was very interesting. The original plan was to go to Bandelier but we got there only to discover it was closed. The NPS site didn't say that.

A Native American stucco home and the ruins of walls with a mountain in the background and a blue sky.
