Raton....


...New Mexico, the name is Spanish for little rat,
and there's the Capulin Volcano and all that,
the town is historic, it's been well preserved,
it sits in place with a station that Wells Fargo served.   (stagecoach)

There were no badmen or desperados here,
to incite the population with fear,
this town was quiet like it should be,
after all it's named "mouse" you see.


Top:  Capulin Volcano, you can drive around the outside and walk down in the cone.
Middle:  Portion of the historic downtown.
Bottom:  Storm coming in from the Rocky Mountains.
