Pine Lodge is not a bustling, busy mountain resort, but is characterized by its quietness. It is off the main highways and although little over fifty miles from Roswell, it is quite s'ecludecl. One never hears the whistle of a railroad train at Pine Lodge. The place "is reached by several roads, one from Roswell, one from Capitan and another from the highway west at TJnnie. The easiest trip 'is from Roswell and it takes only two hours to make the trip' easily and comfortably.

The road is not a highway of the modern days but it is a gopd dry weather road and there ie nothing dangerous or difficult it. There is a Lodge at Pine Lodge, where rooms and good meals can be 'secured. The Lodge also has a number of cabins that are vented very reasonably to those 'wanting cabins. Want-Ads Get Results The water supply is brought in by a trough through the cool mountains, coming from mountain springs of ice cold water above the cabins. It is pure niouutain water and iu abundant supply.

Toilet arrangements and showers are entirely adequate. Roswell people leave Roswell early in the morning before the day gets hot and in the cooler hours quickly rise to the mountains and are within the coolness of the Capitans before the plains below get heated for the day. Coming home they leave Pine Lodge in the late evening, often after sundown, and in two hours or less are at home. All this gives Pine Lodge a great advantage. The Capitans are a mountain range in themselves, shooting out at right angles from the Rockies behind them.

Their highest peak is about ten thousand feet and Pine Lodge itself about seven thousand. The altitude, high up in the mountains, is sufficient to insure fine, cool days and cooler and stimulating nights. One sees the end of the Capitans from Roswell, making them look like one peak, but the range runs on westward for twenty to thirty miles. There are many beauty spots in the Capitans. Here are found gigantic rocky cliffs and rock formations of the wierdest.
