We wish everyone, especially our family and friends, a Peaceful Thankful Thanksgiving!
Check out this link to find out more than you ever needed to know about why Thanksgiving is now the last Thursday of November.
When Bob saw on a NM map that we were only about 60 miles from Smokey the Bear’s grave in Capitan NM…guess where he wanted to go?
Inside the Visitor Center they have all sorts of Smokey memorabilia, then just follow the trail and you come to this spot. Here is where he rests. RIP Smokey
In the spring of 1950 a little bear cub was caught in the Capitan Gap fire and was found by a local rancher up a tree with no mama and some burns on his paws. To read the full story, check out this link. Did you know the Smokey the Bear fire prevention campaign was before they found little Smokey? See how small he was.
Remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires!
Now in honor of today, here is Smokey in the 1966 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. (I am watching the parade right now)
You know we love our Peanut Time, so when we found this bag at a grocery in Capitan, we knew it was meant for us. Since we will be meeting our friends, John and Judy next Tuesday, do you think we have enough peanuts for Happy Hour(s)?
May you have a blessed day!!
