April #conservationlands15 Bucketlist: Gila Lower Box Canyon WSA, New Mexico
The Wilderness Study Area encompassing the Gila Lower Box Canyon is a true oasis in the desert in southwest New Mexico. A lush thicket of cottonwood, willows, and other riparian vegetation line the banks of the river. Wildflowers abound in wet years and include vibrant fields of orange poppies that peak in March and April depending on the year.
The area provides some of the best birding in New Mexico. Home to approximately 200 species, it has one of the highest bird diversities in the state. The area provides habitat to many rare and unusual birds including Bell’s vireo, peregrine, bald eagle (in winter), golden eagle, black hawk, zone-tail hawk, Grey hawk, yellow-billed cuckoo, Gila wood pecker, and Abert’s towhee.
The river provides opportunities for canoeing or rafting during years of high spring runoff, but flows are normally better suited to tubing and to shore-based activities such as fishing for small mouth bass and several species of catfish.

The Lamborghini Museum in Sant'Agata Bolognese is an extension of their factory housing a number of company owned vehicles.
Fierce rivals with Ferrari, Lamborghini have a similarly proud and rich history with many of their designs still head turners today.
Miura in my garage, anytime!

Today is Sunday the last full day of our trip. We decided to rent a car and do our own tour of Moorea. We liked this idea because it gave us the freedom to stop anywhere we wanted to. This cruise ship entered the bay early this morning.
Lecco was home base during my trip to the Monza Formula 1 Grand Prix. About 30 minutes away from the track it was not too far, but gave you a feeling of being on holiday.
A lovely town with the lake and mountains as a backdrop, wonderful town square & great food.
