Ojo Caliente, New Mexico

Poseuinge, "village at the place of the green bubbling hot springs"

Went to my favorite Hot Springs today and had a fantastic mineral springs soak... but FIRST we hiked up to the neighboring BLM protected area called Poseuinge. On the hill where I'm standing was once a large pueblo with terraced gardens overlooking the springs. "Posi" was a vibrant center of activity in the 15th century, evidenced by the substantial amount of clay shards covering the land.
