Road Runner RV Resort Wildlife

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville.

You might remember the "Sad Rosy Face" at the end of Tuesday's post. Well this picture is the HAPPIEST Rosy face!

This is me by the Red River (that really isn't red).

You see, Mama and Daddy took me on a pawsome hike around our RV Resort and I saw more wildlife than I EVER had before!!

Look over here.....

It's a DEER!!!

...and here is ANOTHER one!!!

I have seen Elk from the car when we lived in Northy North California, but I have never seen a New Mexico Deer before!

(Mama says it is a Mule Deer)

....and OMD, look over there...

A CHIPPY!!!

They were everywhere and boy are they fast, Daddy and I couldn't get anywhere near them!

There were these silly bears too

Scary bears...

....hungry bears

...flying bears

Even Mama and Baby bears!

No worries though, all these bears are wood carvings.

Even though real bears live in the area, we didn't get to see any!

Mama had Daddy and me pose in front of this silly wagon on a stick. I was too busy looking for more wildlife to look at the camera though.

This was such a pawsome walk and I definitely saw more critters than I have ever seen on a hike before!

What kind of critters have you all seen in the wild??? We hope everyone can get out to see some nature this weekend!

OH....We almost Forgot!

Happy Independence Day to all those in the USA!!!

We sure hope we get burgers to celebrate!

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE to go to our Hoppity Page.

Little Green (Frog)Men on World UFO Day

Sunny from the planet "SHUSH" here today with my alien friends to wish you all a

Happy World UFO Day!

Today we are celebrating the fact that we beamed Rocky Raccoon to another neighborhood and my favorite little green guys are back in our fountain! Although I haven't personally ~~tasted~~ witnessed this, look what TC caught on film!

(As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE)

Although my human Mama hopes they stay in the fountain and don't venture into my path, I am looking forward to ~~tasting~~ seeing them a little more close up and personal soon.

You know, for alien SCIENTIFIC purposes!

We are joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the

Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop this week!

A Bit About Red River, NM

Happy July! It's hard to believe 2025 is already half over...time just flies by, don't you think?!

Today, I thought I'd tell you a little about the small town of Red River. Mama took pictures whenever she went into town for "human time"

...I guess I'll have to show you those, because I never got to actually go into town.

Before the Red River Valley was populated, it was used for hunting by the Ute and Jicarilla Apache Native Americans during the Summer months. They hunted Longhorn sheep, deer and various types of other wildlife that was abundant in the area.

The mining boom of the late 1800s brought prospectors and those looking to "get rich quick" to the Southern Rocky Mountains. This led to an abundance of busy mining camps, including Red River.

As fast as the mining boom ramped up, it began to decline and by the early 1900s, many of the areas population declined as people moved away. Luckily, Red River had more to offer than gold, silver and the like....It had TOURISM!

Located at the base of the Red River Ski area, Red River is a great place to stay during the Winter to enjoy skiing, snowboarding and sledding. There are many hotels, condominiums and other rentals to stay!

During the Summer it is a wonderful place to escape the heat. With an elevation of 8,750ft above sea level, the temperatures were about 15 degrees cooler in Red River than at home in Rio Rancho. There is a bunch to do in the area too. Hiking was our favorite thing to do, but there was so much more!

Like eating at the Red River Brewery, where everything from sliders to delicious salads were had

BY.THE.HUMANS....not.the.dogs

(Life can be so unfair!)

There were rumors the Brewery was dog-friendly...but Mama and Daddy would neither confirm or deny this.

I sure would have loved a slider or 2!

The HUMANS also went to the Old Tymer's Cafe for Breakfast....There were giant pancakes, yummy french toast and delicious eggs had (by everyone but ME!)

You could rent fun bicycle surry things....

...or just walk around, visit the cute shops and take in the fun views!

As you might be able to tell, the pawrents really enjoyed the town of Red River, and have put it on their "We would visit there again" list!

In case anyone was wondering what my "I want to go for a hike too" sad face looks like, this is it.

Don't worry though, I got to go on two long and VERY fun hikes while we were in Red River. I'll be back Friday to tell you about the first one!
