Owls here at Oasis state park

Here are some owls here at Oasis. There was a family of owls and now  there is only Mom or Dad and the 3 young ones. It looks like they had 3 different births because they are 3 different sizes. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them.

Billy The Kids Grave site

      Had a great time with a fellow camper that I met at Leasburg Dam State Park. We went to Billy The Kid's Grave site yesterday and had a great time. Here are some pics from our trip. We were going to Fort Sumner and it was closed on Monday and Tuesday. So I guess I will have to go back.
