Riding with a Spirit

[freespirit020]

beautiful Messabout1,

[messabout1]

Thanks Gayle, riding with spirits is one of my favorite things

[KPPatty]

messabout...Is that the road that you go from up Tupelo Pike to where you come out by Skyline to the right? When you got to the T it looked like it.

[messabout1]

Good observation, you are exactly right. I added a little drama to the video but yes that is the road, one of my favorites in the county.

@messabout1 Old Pecos Trail in Santa Fe NM is mine. I like the soundtrack

[Moonchimes]

What a beautiful ride. Thank you for allowing us to experience it also!~Moonchime

[messabout1]

That road is up cumberland Mountain which rises about 1200 feet from the valley floor

rICARD, I HAVE NOW WATCHED THIS VID SIX TIMES, NEVER DONE THAT BEFOR

[messabout1]

Well, that is a good compliment. What is there about it that attracts you?

[turnermedman]

apart from the fantastic land where you live, the music just blew me away. i could almost see the indiens of yesteryear.

[fafaintexas]

Those of us with Native American blood remember a time when we denied our heritage, due to the extreme bigotry in America against Native Americans. The great price of that time period is the loss of our geneological record.

[fafaintexas]

All I know is at least 4 or 5 generations past I have a paternal Southern Colorado or Northern New Mexico Pueblo (no record of which pueblo) Indian lineage.

It is a great loss when we don't know where we came from due to shame. Thank goodness we can now be proud of our lineage.

[messabout1]

I, like you, wish I had known of my blood line much earlier in life.

[turnermedman]

smashing. great vid, great title, great music

[messabout1]

Thanks again Mick. That is how our countryside looks right now with Fall upon us, but our temperature has been very good also being around 70 degrees F this week. As for the title and music, I'm trying to stay connected to my ancestors as best I can.

...would like to be out on a road like that with only one car coming along within 5 minutes.

Lucky Alabama !

[messabout1]

One of the rewards of the simple life. I was on another one today even less crowded. I'll have that video up tonight or tomorrow.

[positivesue]

Like Krajikevin I don't usually like long car journeys, but thats on OUR roads!  I could travel for hours on roads like that one! :-)

[messabout1]

Thanks Sue. I am at peace on these country roads too. I plan to go messing about this weekend and capture some more of our backroads

[AuntLissa53]

I hope my ride to heaven is as peaceful as this. I love the Indians understanding of gifts of God's world and how much they respect our earth. Thank you. Nice ride. I felt like a peacful bird.

[messabout1]

We all need peace in our lives and a good relationship with nature meets that need for many of us.

[krajikevin]

Isn't Eagles nest a nickname for Hitler's home? to be honest, i think traveling is boring. And i cant stand long periods of times in a car.

[messabout1]

No, I think that was "buzzard's nest"  Sorry to hear about your short endurance span.

[2oobwatcher]

simply powerful!

[messabout1]

It does a body good to commune with those spirits within him now and again.
