Well, we didn’t make it out to hike last Sunday. We got to the trailhead and it was just a little too crowded for Brandy’s taste. We decided to try the trail we had gone to the day before, but it was very crowded there too. We headed back down the mountain and wound up […]
March 20, 2021 Brandy and I took a drive up to Tijeras this morning for a quick hike along the Cedro Creek Nature Trail.
March 12-14 There are 63 national parks in the United States and its territories and it took meeting Brandy to visit my first one (which was Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado last year.) This weekend, we visited my second, Carlsbad Caverns in Southeastern New Mexico.
I stopped by Outdoor Rec on Kirtland AFB to rent a fishing rod and reel Friday afternoon. I met Alan at the hospital where I work and we left from there. We headed north to Bernalillo and took a left before climbing highway 4 to Fenton Lake… to find it completely frozen over. D’OH!
February 27-28 Brandy’s going through a tough time at work right now. Just a couple weeks ago, Albuquerque suffered a pretty serious cold snap that saw our high Real Feel in the negatives, which is rather unheard of. She’s spent the last few weeks dealing with frozen and burst pipes.
I was reluctant to make a post dedicated to Blake’s Lotaburger on the New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail. Blake’s are everywhere here in town and I’ve had them a million times before, but the ‘Rona has kept us from making proper stops anywhere else, so I thought I’d go ahead and do this now.
January 10, 2021 I met up with Alan at the Information Center of Petroglyph National Monument on the west side of Albuquerque at around 1:00. We went in to the visitor’s center and I picked up a couple of trinkets for my souvenir wall before carpooling out to the trailhead. The Boca Negra Canyon trailhead […]
Before this year, I was constantly filled with dread, worry and stress. I often found myself angry at the positions in which I regularly found myself and pessimistically saw that there was never any way out of it. Depression and despair were regular guests in my psyche. That changed on January 26, 2019.
What is there to say about 2020? I think enough has been said about it so let’s just move on and look forward to 2021.
December 5, 2020 The Copper Trailhead sits in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains and spawns four separate trails through the desert landscape.
