Snowin' on Raton

 

I'm thinking of winter songs. Also missing West Texas, where we usually are this time of year. I think my favorite Winter Song is Townes' Snowin' on Raton. First time over Raton was in a snowstorm, driving Banff, Alberta to West Texas with Toby Clark in the above unit, towing all those canoes, heading for the Lower Canyons of the Rio Grande. First time in my life I ever left winter.
I cross Raton whenever I can; something good always happens.                                                                               This was April snow up on Raton, a couple years back...




...and there are always few feral trucks roaming around Raton, N.M.
