Plaza Blanca

We made our way to Abiquiú through a pretty intense downpour, and got a little drenched picking up a few supplies at Bode's General Store (the local 1-stop shop).  But the storm had passed by the time we had driven a couple more miles to our accommodations ... a very nice yurt! 

We arrived in the late afternoon, so we made up some dinner, and headed off to catch the evening light at nearby Plaza Blanca.  It's a beautiful, large canyon of white rocks, made famous by the well-known artist Georgia O'Keeffe, who spent most of her life in the area.  Quite a treat.  And so much of a treat, that we got up early in the morning and went back for sunrise.  Very serene just wandering around the cliffs and up narrow slot drainages.  Pretty magical.
