Unlike nearby Ruidoso, this area has been spared any devastation this year and looked as good as ever. Thank goodness! By the time I finished my lunch stop at the Brewpub, it was starting to rain and storms were gathering, so I knew it was time to go. 
I like driving down the Fresnal Canyon Road from High Rolls as a change of pace from Highway 82. This basically follows the route of the old railroad all the way down to La Luz and is very scenic. La Luz is a gem as well. I didn't take any photos this time, since the weather made me decide just to get down to the flats without fooling around. Once I got out of the canyon areas, I could see there was a lot of rain shower activity down toward Alamogordo and beyond. I got into fairly heavy rain driving through Alamogordo, and it let up by the time I got back to camp at Oliver Lee. I soon found out there had been some heavy showers there a bit earlier as well. Relief from the heat!
