The View from Up There

Antonio asked a rancher friend to take Laz up in his workhorse Cessna 182, and this is what we saw:



Magdalena sure ain't much, from the ground or the air, but that's why we love it so. The empty-looking land in the second picture is (roughly) the north half of what is now the Lear Ranch -- Mom and Dad closed on it today!

Laz had his nose plastered to the window for the entire half-hour flight. Mom and I did okay, too, except for a few moments of vertigo on my part. Thanks so much to Mr. Guin for the great time!
