April 5, 2021 Brandy and I drove back up to the Cedro Creek Nature Trail for a Sunday hike. As we had done this trail already in the past, we went straight to the trailhead, instead of wandering for 20 minutes looking for it.
April 4, 2021 Well, I kinda did this one.
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.

This weekend, I’ll be taking a leisurely drive through a few of my favorite scenic byways thus far: Corrales Blvd, Rio Grande Blvd through Los Ranchos de Albuquerque and 4th St through Albuquerque and into Bernalillo (the original alignment of Route 66, pre-1937.) I take Rio Grande Blvd. on my way to and from work […]
