Fell Asleep During the thunder storm and reading about Lillian
Lilliaan Hellman the famous playright. WOke up while dramin’ about a TAOS, I’ve never seen and a dust storm so think that I wish I had a bandana on to cover my nose and mouth. In the dream I owre a flannel red checked long sleeve shrit and had a big flet tan gray cowboy had, blue jeans, red-brown cowboy boots with spurs. I was up in Taos to do, an assignment (writing), and said to myself: this is the best assignment I’ve ever had.
I was to write about an old motel called the Night Owl where there was an indian hotel lik that from India who celebrated Christmas all year round. There was a second story Veranda where some of the biigest gray tiger cats hung out and I went up there to pet them and relax.
Well, I don’t wear cowboy boots, Never heardof the NoghtOwl Hotel, and decide I’d better get up and write this blog. Thank goodness there is no dust storm as think as pea soup write now either!
So Liilian Hellman once got stuck in Albuquerque because of a dust storm. She met a man named Robert Ingersol. Albuquerque is south of Taos. Now-a-days you take I-25 north to Santa Fe and then follow the signs to Taos. There are 2 common routes to Taos, as direct as you can go to Taos, and most people here say what is that rte number? Turns into 68 at some point, pretty much follows the Rio Grande River to Taos. In a couple of weeks, I’d usually stop in Velarde to pick up bags of fresh apples. A few weeks back you’d find peaches and cherries.
The other route is what used to be the OLD TAOS HIGHWAY. Google a map to TAOS. Before Espanola and after the CITIES OF GOLD in Poquaque, you go down a hill, to a light and make a right toward NAMBE. You’ll pass through Indian Country and keep following the signs to TAOS. Past Chimayo, by Cordova, through TRUCHAS, winding round through the NATIONAL FOREST, down through other tiny Hispanic Villages over through so many different terrains: breath taking, and finally you roll into Taos. I used to love driving down the main drag, and watch the montain grow bigger and bigger as well as a deep blue sky. It’s all built up now, losing a lot of the charm, but the mountain still can call your name.
If you google TAOS NM PHOTOS, you can find some beauties. Couldn’t copy them here.
