This weather is exactly why we are here in this area. Mind you we love these New Mexico State Parks as well. After my early morning walkabout at 7 am, I headed into town (Deming) about 9 am for a few supplies and on the way, (mind you back country roads) I had a traffic jam ! This area has free range cattle and this highway was the place to be. Of course when you are in these areas the cattle do have the right of way. So I stopped, and they did not move. I watch for a few minutes and they did not move. I blew the horn and they did not move?Again I blew the horn for quite a while , they looked at me and finally took their time to clear the road, at least so that I could drive on down and eventually into town. Always an interesting experience that we have encountered a few times over the years, Just the way it is here in the southwest, love it !

Where have we been this winter ?
Look up tarantula hawk.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barney we did and think that is exactly what it was, much appreciated. Here us the link found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarantula_hawk
DeleteHey George,
DeleteMost ranchers blow their truck's horns when they come out to feed them, so I think you were sending the cows the wrong signals. :O)
Bob
I guess , but after them out staring me for 3-4 minutes, Once I blew the horn they finally moved.
DeleteThe views where you are, are wonderful. Wouldn't mind a traffic jam that included a couple of Longhorns. The clouds did turn a lovely pink.
ReplyDeleteThe views are excellent no complaints here, nice when we can enjoy these lovely sunsets here in the southwest.
DeleteLooks like you've found the weather you like - supposed to get colder here next week.
ReplyDeleteThis weather is exactly what we love for the winter.
DeleteGreat pics. Some pointy looking horns some of those cattle. An excellent day!!
ReplyDeleteThanks it sure was an excellent day.
DeleteNew Mexico looks lively right now, all that blue sky and open spaces. We are settling into our new home and really looking forward to getting south to the desert in late January. It has been way too long! Great photos today, George.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue we too love the wide open spaces. I think it is time for you to get back out and south for some winter warmth.
DeleteIf you just move slowly through, they'll get out of your way. Bob is right ... they were looking at you wondering why you were honking when they were already THERE!! That's a nice looking group of longhorns.
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice look group. I was within a foot and they did not move, guess I was invading their space.
DeleteThat place looks amazing, can't wait to get out over there. Just don't know when that will be. Love the traffic jam that is so great!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful country that we love.
DeleteThat's hilarious! Longhorn traffic jam! Glad they moved if you didn't take a lunch.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great day, great weather and scary looking bug. Yeuch!
It was nice to see these guys just wandering about, not a careen the world.
DeleteLooking at all that beef-on-the-hoof I was thinking a burger on the Weber would be a nice way to top it off. The cattle look mellow enough in the pictures, but don't think I'd want to get too close to one.
ReplyDeleteWe actually did have burgers on our Weber Q, but one was salmon and the other pork chirozo.
DeleteI believe these were all cows and calves, not very aggressive compared to a bull.
Were you going to Town for milk. If any of them were Cows you could have saved the trip.
ReplyDeleteThey were actually cows and calves.
DeleteThat was a good title....Longhorn Traffic Jam!!! It certainly was!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics and another lovely sunset!!!
The title thanks to Len I was racking my brian.
DeleteIt was a wonderful day again !
Love the Longhorn traffic jam. Well, not really, but better you than me. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is always nice to see these guys wander about the desert.
