Before ever reading the caption for your pic, I knew instantly where it was taken. As a young boy, I accompanied my father to this magical location and learned to fly fish. We caught many Rainbow and Browns during those outings in the early 1950’s. Sometimes the Rio in this area was stocked on a regular basis and the young hatchery trout were easy to catch. The River run trout were not as easy but were much more rewarding. Now, the Rio is a distant memory but its magic will never be forgotten. Pilar was the favorite turnout from the highway and where we went most of the time from our home in Los Alamos. We would sometimes drink sparkling spring water from the natural spring a ways up the canyon and before you get to the bridge spanning the Rio N. of Pilar. It is sad to see the Rio choked with salt cedar (tamarisk) http://www.nps.gov/archive/whsa/tamarisk.htm ; maysbe someone will figure out how to rid the West of this invasive. Thanks for the sweet pic.

Hi Gary, thanks for stopping by! I REALLY appreciate this comment. That spring is still there—marked as possibly being unsafe!—and people from Carson come by to fill their water jugs.
Beautiful recollection on your part. It’s an honor to hear these words from one who has this river in his soul.
