"Along The Santa Fe Trail" is a lovely song by The Sons Of The Pioneers, first recorded by them in 1955 on RCA Victor. It was written in 1940 for the movie "Santa Fe Trail", starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland. The song was featured on multiple albums by the Sons Of The Pioneers, and also recorded by others, including Jimmy Wakely. The harmony on this recording is just beautiful--enjoy!
At the southern end of the Moreno Valley lies Black Lake, New Mexico, a quiet natural lake where Paulette and I watched for elk, waterfowl, wild turkeys and black bears. It also became Montana for portions of the classic Lonesome Dove miniseries.
I headed north with an old chainsaw for my son and cameras for myself. What followed was a rainy September journey through the Rio Grande Gorge, Taos Canyon and Angel Fire, where autumn aspens and a remarkably calm flock of wild turkeys turned an ordinary errand into a very special day.
