Bursum Road Annual Closure

November 17, 2009

BURSUM ROAD TO CLOSE TEMPORARILY FOR THE WINTER

Glenwood, N.M.—The New Mexico Department of Transportation has announced that N.M. State Highway 159, also known as Bursum Road, is expected to be closed for the winter season on November 25th. If a significant snowfall occurs on this high elevation road before the expected closing date, Bursum Road will be closed immediately.

Bursum Road is closed annually during the winter months due to safety concerns associated with icy road conditions and heavy snow accumulations. The closed area starts approximately one mile east of the town of Mogollon and ends west of the Bearwallow Road.

For further information, please contact the Glenwood Ranger District at (575) 539-2481, or the Reserve Ranger District at (575) 533-6231. The Gila National Forest website http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/gila can also be accessed for information.

Missing Dog: White Miniature Schnauzer

Date: Nov 10, 2009
Area: Reserve - Rancho Grande - Hwy 180

Our little white miniature Schnauzer, Sugar, got out of our car at mile marker 23 (the outhouse rest stop) on Hwy 180W near St Rd 12 going to Reserve. She jumped out the only open door in our vehicle and walked to the front of the car while my husband and I walked up from the rear after looking under the car for something. We never saw her and thought she had already settled down in the back seat as is customary! Since there is no cell service, we did not get a message from the Humane Society in Silver until 2 hours later. We rushed back up there (2-hour drive as you know), 7:15 p.m., but no Sugar. She had been left inside the restroom by the first passerby who had stopped and called our Vet from Sugar's tag. But obviously, the next person took her w/o leaving a note and hasn't called our Vet or the Humane Society.

We are just devastated!

She is 10 years old, has congestive heart failure (4 days w/o her meds, now), 16 lbs, barks like crazy at strangers while trying to meet them at the same time. She's a lapdog, friendly once she meets a person. The Vet today told me that it will be only a few more days before her lungs fill up and her heart must struggle to beat. We don't know what a person would do with her at that point.

Is there any way you could publish about our lost dog? We don't have much money to spend on such an ad, and we are praying for her return. I've posted on three online "lost pet" sites today. And who knows where the person(s) who picked her up were going. And the reason I think someone took her is that it is not her "modis operandi" to run from people. Rather, she'd be barking and trying to sniff them looking for us, I'm sure. She would have been easy to pick up and take.
