Hey hey USA - 28th October - small towns and a dirt road

  We had lunch by Abiquiu Lake and then on a whim, as we liked the name, decided to drive up the road to a place called Coyote. There was little there apart from a rather nice adobe church which was closed and a small settlement. On the way back to the main Highway 84 we passed yet another cemetery which required an exploration. We found the grave of a lady who had died at the venerable age of 106 years. She had been postmaster of Youngsville for 30 years and also helped as a midwife and sold Avon products. Not all of the graves were grand Finally we headed back to Abiquiu and carried on the search for Georgia O'Keeffe's 'white place' taking a back road which ran closer to it. We unfortunately we still could not really see it but the cottonwoods were lovely and we came across the desiccated body of a bob cat! Then it was back on the road past the river to the house
