We got up early today to go to Spring Canyon hoping to see some Ibex. We knew the odds were slim but thought we would try any way. We didn't see any Ibex but the area is beautiful. What a great place for a picnic. For those who are wandering Ibex are small goat like animals from Iran. Back in the days when we were friendly with Iran the Shaw sent 70 over here to this part of New Mexico because the climate and terrain was very similar to Iran. There are now about 700 in these Florida Mountains in South Western New Mexico. Spent the rest of the day playing on the computer and enjoying the scenery. Leaving tomorrow for Rio
Rancho.
This is the picnic area in Spring Canyon. Spring Canyon is a part of
Rockhound State Park but is about 3 miles away.
These are
flox that dot the hill side.
This is a view looking up the canyon. We hiked up about half way.
