Chaparral, NM

Most of the area around Chaparral, NM where my son lives is flat desert country with a some low, rocky mountains. If you can call them mountains. Compared to what I call mountains they aren't much but still they are photogenic and nice to look at. The 1st photo is of the lower end of the Rio Grande River right before it goes into Texas. Chaparral is right at the Texas border near El Paso, Texas. Chaparral can hardly be called a town, more like a very small village. Remember my post from a few weeks ago that had photos of the river here in Albuquerque with lots of water, and several miles from Chaparral in the Anthony, NM area. Most of it goes into Elephant Butte Lake which is a big lake with lots of boating, fishing, and other recreation. I didn't go there this time. The rest goes to the farmers.
Other photos are just outside of Chaparral, NM.

Independence Day Story

I have written another fan-fiction story. For those that don't know I write fan-fiction for the website www.womenwritersblock.net under the pen name of Stardust.
Follow the link and find my story entitled 'July 4th in Laramie' at this site. I have other stories there, also, as do lots of other writers.
We mostly write stories that are based on the western TV shows that were on TV from about 1950 through 1980. Sadly there are no western TV shows now. There were shows titled Lawman, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Bordertown, High Chaparral, Have Gun Will Travel, Wagon Train and lots more.
A few can now be seen in re-runs on the Western Channel and on TVLand.
