Panaca Recap:What it Looks Like

This is what it looks like when you are entertaining your six year old in Subway while Daddy and Grandma are getting food (meeting at the switch point -- there is no Subway in Panaca).

Yup, we took pictures with my camera, but Jackson got the best shots of all.

This one shows my best qualities, don't you think?!

The Parking Lot:

The picture of meat on the wall. . . mmmm. . .

This is what downtown Panaca looks like and has for 30 years, with minor changes (you'd only know them if you've been around there that long).

This is what it looks like when you ride in Grandma's car to the Panaca Spring to go swimming together with your cousins and aunts and uncles.

 (Jackson and his cousin sharing a seat on the way to the ol' swimming hole. Riding in Grandma's car is the best!)

This is what it looks like when everyone is getting ready to get in to the Spring.  It's a warm spring. Yes, you have to brave the fish, algae, and muddy bottom, but in the morning it is crystal clear and warm and worth it all!  Again, enjoy the AMAZING PICTURES I got (sarcasm. . .).  Honestly, though, the people in these pictures are some of the best!

This is what it looks like when everyone is getting out of the Spring. . .

This is what it looks like when you're playing "War" with your cousin who is 10 days older than you!

This is what it looks like driving back to Panaca from the cousins' houses in Caliente. (Shh, don't tell anyone I took the picture while driving!)

This is what it looks like when you fall asleep in the middle of getting your pajamas on because you're EXHAUSTED from having too much fun with your grandma and cousins.

Yeah. . .I didn't take great pictures, but we had a blast!  It was nice to have a break from chores, making dinner, and paying bills (or at least thinking about them). . .
