At Alamosa refuge on Sunday of our April trip, we saw the rubble of the old visitors center was almost all hauled away. The same dry conditions as in March were more of a concern a month later, but we did see some standing (maybe rain) water, and it was fun to spot a porcupine.

This is a spring story because Jenn waited to release these papers. By fall I learned yes, it's a drought, and in its 23rd year! But they have tried hard to downplay it, I'd say. LOL
