The road snakes its way back toward Santa Rosa, behind this adobe building, which I have taken the liberty of calling a duplex.

If you would rather go to Fort Sumner and it hasn’t rained in a while and you’re feeling brave, you can take County Road 2P. It’s neither paved nor fenced, giving the occasional traveler a very close look at cows.
