[ADXA] Capulin Volcano Nat Monument

[Richard Harris]

Later that afternoon (March 21) I visited a new park for me. This very
intriguing volcano is about 30 miles east of Raton, New Mexico. This
volcano erupted about 60,000 years ago and its conical form rises over 1300
feet above the plains to 8182 feet above sea level. You can actually drive
up to near the top rim of the volcano. Unfortunately, I got there around 3
p.m. and they close at 4:30 p.m. so I didn't have the opportunity to hike
around the rim - about a 1 mile trail.
So I have to plan to revisit this one! Conditions were much better so 165
contacts make it into the log before I had to close down.  From the parking
lot there was about a 90 degree wide-open shot to the west and northwest -
all other directions
were blocked by the volcano rim. Worth the visit! 73 Rick AI5P
