The Ladies of the San Juans

Changing up some things around here. I like history and and would like to share some insight on some ladies I researched on. These were not ordinary ladies, but extraordinary as they lived in the heart of the San Juans, while their husbands were seeking fortunes. I think you may enjoy learning how hard working and self sacrificing these ladies were!

An Outdoorsy Moment

Join me on this whimsy journey into the many delights nature can offer us!
