La Cueva, Mora, and Woolies

 

On the way to Val’s cabin in Guadalupita, we drove through the quaint and tiny, picturesque villages of La Cueva and Mora.

Val encouraged me to look for a letterbox she had placed in the village of La Cueva, where the famous Salman Ranch Farm, providing the best raspberries I have ever eaten, is located beside the old mill.

(These next two photos were taken from a previous visit last year, using my old Canon, so the quality isn’t as good)

  

I found the letterbox and the cute hand-carved stamp and then we headed east towards the village of Mora.

We stopped off to visit with the wooly ones.

 

There were hundreds of beautiful alpacas and llamas grazing in the beautiful green valley.

I could have stayed there all day just gazing at them all. The alpacas are cute, but the llamas are my favorite. They walk so elegantly as if they are royalty. Their behavior reminds of cats.

But the alpacas were adorable. And they had brand new babies, too.

Can you say “Awwww!”?

 

And I can’t leave out the lions….er….livestock guard dogs. There were several of these beautiful Great Pyrenees roaming the property.

  

And this big guy napping inside the store. (I don’t think he’s a Pyrenees, though. But maybe he’s a guarder of books?)

He didn’t mind that Val and I were trying on some of the wool hats.

 

Then it was time to say goodbye to Victory Ranch and all the woolies.

We wanted to make a letterboxing stop in Christmas Tree Canyon before finally arriving at Val’s cabin in Guadalupita (see map above).
