| It's winter in White Oaks, New Mexico, and not much is happening. Ivy is throwing pots up at White Oaks Pottery, Bob Reynierson's gallery is open, and the No Scum Allowed Saloon is open Friday & Saturday nights and maybe Sunday afternoons. It's the time of year where you'd best entertain yourself. Print out the self-driving tour info. Cruise around a township that was once the second largest city in the state (2500-5000 residents) until the gold ran out. If you're searching out a rubber tomahawk, you can find them along Sudderth in Ruidoso. Here, in White Oaks, you'll have to be satisified on absorbing what was at one time in relation to what is today. Amuse yourself. White Oaks is is definitely past perfect tense. (Postscript: no white oak trees survived the gold rush in White Oaks.) |
