On Friday the 25th we drove along the Turquoise Trail from Santa Fe to Cedar Crest. Along this trail are several old mining towns. Around the town of Cerrilos were turquoise and lead deposits critical to the jewelry an pottery making of the prehistoric Indians. The town and the mines were at their peak in the 1880’s. Other small towns along the way mined gold, silver, lead, zinc and turquoise. We also drove up to Sandia Peak which overlooks Albuquerque, NM. At 10,600 feet it was quite cold and windy. Snow drifts were everywhere but, oh my, what a beautiful view from on top of the mountain. Again, we experienced the awesomeness of our God.
