Bosque del Apache, 2012 - 2016        Images © Mark A. Chappell
In November 2012, we made our 7th trip to New Mexico's Bosque del Apache Refuge, and in December 2013 and 2015, we made our 8th and 9th.   It's a long drive from California, but always rewarding.   In 2012 we had the additional pleasure of introducing three new friends from Holland to this inspiring place.
