  • Palabras Pintorescas - Childhood memories of the Castañeda

    Newsworthy items pop up daily around here. With a good radio, two or three newspapers and a television, not much gets past us way up here in the mountains. Some of the news is exciting,  to say the least.

  • Mora County Notebook - As the winds blow in Chacon

    The strong winds recently blew a barn down and scattered the parts all over. It is now just a pile of rubble as all of the pieces have been gathered up and put in a pile by some of the family.

We have experienced two of the driest months on record here at the Gascon reporting weather station, with no relief in sight.
