Our next stop was another "hard to identify" photo, that I was able to identify just days before our little excursion here. I was researching the Los Ojos bar and grill for a lunch option when I used GOOGLE street view to get an idea of where we might want to park. As I was using the street viewer I saw an interesting building and said to myself, is that a church or a school. I stopped dead in my tracks (both on the GOOGLE street view and in my computer chair) I remembered saying the exact same thing about a building in one of the photos I had yet to identify. I scrambled over to the New Mexico Get The Picture Contest Website to view the photo. BAM! A match. I was thrilled. I had looked and looked for this photo. Jim, Don (my employer) and I had all thought it was a town just north of Moriaty, Galisteo, but I had walked that town through GOOGLE street view, and every time I traveled through it (which was quite often) looked and looked. Well of course it was not there, it is Jemez Springs. We did not eat lunch at the Los Ojos bar and grill, as we had just had a huge breakfast before leaving Albuquerque, but Jim pulled into the parking lot I jumped out of the car, ran across the street and snapped the photo. |
