New Mexico Wilderness, Ted Turner Country!
After several days of camping well off the beaten path in the New Mexico Wilderness it was time to pack it up and head back to Albuquerque. Debbie and I both were really having a hard time leaving the tranquility and beauty we had found on this particular New Mexico Wilderness camping adventure. The SUV was finally packed including Dixie dog so we decided to drive around the area one last time. We found this New Mexico Wilderness area just too stunning not to stop and take a few last photos. Dixie and I remained in the truck while Debbie headed off with camera in hand.
I see Debbie talking to a lone guy further down the dusty road. He was sitting on a log taking a break from fly fishing, sharing his sandwich with a chipmunk and smiling as he nodded talking to Debbie. I watched as Debbie took a few more photos of the winding waters and noticed she was wearing a big smile as she approached the truck. “Guess who that guys is,” she stated. Uh..how would I know, we’re in the middle of the wild New Mexico Wilderness. It was Ted Turner! From what we gathered Ted Turner who is famous for owning a good deal of wilderness country and ranching land in New Mexico and Colorado was simply fly fishing just out of range of his property line. The incredible odds of this meeting made the adventure all the more memorable for both of us. No photo’s as we respect others privacy when bumping into them. This is is a good shot of the pristine New Mexico Wilderness and winding waters where this meeting took place. Something we may reflect upon when we’re in the nursing home rocking and reminiscing on our New Mexico wilderness glory days.
