Jemez Mountains
It's been a couple of years, but this year we went up to find a Christmas tree in the mountains. For some reason, the road into the cutting location was closed (and they neglected to inform us of that at the ranger's office!) So a couple of things happened as a result. We got stuck in a snowy/muddy ditch right at the beginning while finding a place to park along the turn out up to San Gregorio Lake. Thank goodness, there was another family there getting ready to leave, and the dad helped dig/push us out, while the Mom took pictures for us! My kind of family. :) And secondly, we had to hike in to the area instead of drive up and park, which meant further to haul the tree out to where the car was parked, etc. Which meant we weren't as picky about our tree this year, and it was kind of a Charlie Brown tree. But once it got lights and decorations on it . . . yeah, it was still a Charlie Brown tree. Gave the family room some character.
