While driving near Cloudcroft, New Mexico in mid October, I came across a sign that said Limited Access Road. That simply was just too tempting of an invitation to ignore. So I turned the wheel of my truck and thus began my jaunt down this very narrow dirt road. I had no idea where it ended nor did I really care.

Wanting to see what would be around the next corner, my curiosity kept me moving forward. After a lengthy time without seeing anything to spark my creative mind my curiosity began to wane. But I kept moving forward. Not so much out of curiosity at what might be ahead but the fact there wasn’t a good place to turn my truck around. So onward I go and thankfully so as I would have missed this beautiful secluded spot of glowing fall color.

As for the Limited Access road, it finally upgraded to a paved road and ended at an intersection of a main road leading back to Cloudcroft.
