Unfortunately, Brandy and I didn’t make it too far on the trail before we discovered it was a bit steep for both our tastes. Instead, we spent some time driving up to the Sandia Peak, then back down again.
On I-40, a rock smashed into the windshield of her Lexus causing a significant chip. That obliterated the serotonin she had built up on the peaceful drive up the east side of the mountain.
On the plus side, I was able to get a chip repair kit and make it almost completely unnoticeable.
Anyway, we will try a different, flatter trail this coming weekend!
See you out there!
