| We made a stop in Santa Fe as we started the almost 2,000 mile car ride to ND. We had never seen these bronze statues on other visits. It was so muddy but we made our way around them. They were huge and difficult to get a good idea of how neat they were. This is what we learned about the sculptures........ |
 |
| In this sculpture, six tired mules struggle to pull a heavy wagon up a hill. One of the mules has stumbled. The muleskinner leans down to help the animal as it struggles to regain its footing. Passing the trail, a Pueloan woman looks on, while a boy waves at the lead wagon as he and his dog have run out from town to greet them. At this moment the trail boss points toward the end of the trail on the Santa Fe Plaza. So they will enter the plaza soon, marking the end of a long and difficult journey. |
 |
| The drive is beautiful as we worked our way to Raton Pass. Thankfully, the roads were clear, but we had heavy fog as we entered Southern Colorado. |

 |
| I enjoy this rest stop except for one thing.... |
 |
 |
| Definitely there is more snow in other areas than we had when we arrived home. |
 |
| We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the warm sunshine. It was great seeing friends and family along the way. |
