THE SAN MIGUEL
The ancient Utes, I wonder of the stories they could tell.
To add to the gtory of the San Miguel.
High in the San Juans she begins as a brook.

Over narrow gauge tracks carved into the canyon walls
A legacy of many good times and many a falls.
Down through the canyon races the San Miguel.
To another remembrance of mining days called Placerville.
And on th.rough a gorge thousands of feetdeep.
Past Sanborn Park, Horsefly, and many trails for a jeep.
In 1910 they came to build a ditch,
To irrigate the desert so all would be rich.
They were socialists or at least that was their pitch,
Later most were cattlemen, what a switch.
Nineteen miles from the river to the land.
Dug with mules, black powder, and by hand.
All to grub a living out of desert sand.
With sweat and hard work and skin leather-tanned.
Now they work till sundown and drink tilt dawn.
Seldom ever mindful the Miguel rolls on.
Past my childhood home to the power plant
Where coal and water help make life fat.
Through Naturita to Uravan where they say
Fuel for the first Atomic Bomb came into play.
Then with the Dolores the Miguel's waters mingle
Just to see the Miguel again makes my spine tingle.
