11-20 Burke Lake, Clifton

Sue wanted to spend the day outside since she had been cooped up all week. I have been in Albuquerque all week. I looked around and found Burke Lake Park in Fairfax not too far away. The drive there was pretty, even though many trees have all their leaves gone. We walked the trail around the lake, 4.7 mi. A very nice day, sunny weather but cool. After the walk we looked around and found the little village of Clifton close by. This is a small town on the railroad tracks that was a destination in the early 1900s and still has a following. Had a nice lunch there at the Heart in Hand, an old general store. Many of the houses in town have plaques in front explaining their history.
