Fire on the Mountian

Fire on the Mountain
Day 4 and 5


OK, so I was absent yesterday. That was due to the lack of Internet service being handy at the Ghost Ranch. For the most part yesterday was an off day. The ride from Taos, to the Ghost Ranch was scenic. Upon arrival we learned that this was a retreat, a place to unwind and disconnect from the every day toys we all are tied to. Ghost Ranch has a history that begins with two cattle thieves who wove tales of ghost and witches who lived in the valley. There was also a story of flying cows, that if anyone saw one of these cows, they would die. One of our honor students quickly deduced that the tale could have no merit. Your task is to determine why, and then message me your answer.

There are two takeaways from Ghost Ranch. The first was the sunset on this beautiful mountain. Now for me the sunset was quite normal, but what was breath taking was that a the sun slipped beneath the horizon the red rocks on the canyon walls behind us to the Southwest, were lit on fire as they reflected the sun, a stunning sight to say the least. The second takeaway was the light show after the sun set. Living on the East coast has its benefits, however if you are interested in seeing the heavens in all its splendor, your going to have to come west. Psalms 147 states the following; God determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name, and after last night I am completely at awe with his power and majesty. Clearly, the heavens declare the glory of God.








Tonight we are in Durango, Colorado, with plans to travel to the Mesa Verde.
