... on – so there you are.

At the longest of the four walks I headed out on the 2.5 mile round trip and had high expectations as the blurb said there were 700+ petroglyphs on view. It must be me – remember the pioneer names fiasco in Snow Canyon? – I just can't seem to locate these things. It improved as I got further in as the volume increased and on some rocks it looked like whole stories were being told. Some of the petroglyphs are mere squiggles ...

... did those many years ago (well, maybe a couple of pounds heavier!). So now I'm sitting here at the President's club relaxing as much as one can with a group of New Yokas having a screaming conversation a few feet away.

Not traveling business class so I'll miss the pampering and good food. Hope I can get a few hours of sleep so as to be ready to hit the ground running upon arrival. We shall see.

... with Devon and John. By now, the idea of making it back to Atlanta by Thanksgiving was out of the question. I had stayed in Albuquerque a week longer then expected, but I never would have had the chance to make new friends and find the real beauty of New Mexico. A stark beauty that only reveals itself for short times throughout the day. If your paying attention, you can find beautiful things where you least expect.

... Unfortunately we were 3 days too late. The majority of the birds, thousands, had already taken off. There were a few still there and the sunrise was beautiful.
We then drove southwest to Silver City for a few days of exploring.

... kept in touch through the years.  Our reunion was awesome!  We picked up where we left off, good friends.  Jeane lives on 5 acres of land about 15 miles east of Albuquerque in the mountains.  She offered to let me stay in a little house on her property that was vacant.  So, from the first of the year until Feb 20 I lived in this little house with Murphy Brown, Lucky and Buddy.  The RV was parked in the driveway with occasional overnight stays at the ...

I was in Times square in NY taking photos about the crowd crossing the street then i went straight to the airport, get a flight to Albuquerque, there, i picked up a rental car and drove 8 hours to Monument Valley in Arizona, so, exactly 24 hours after time square i was standing in a desert, with for only company a lost dog...actually i appreciated the difference.

I get to the airport in Albuquerque at 4.30pm. my flight is at 6:30pm..I quickly hit the mens room
and eat 8 gelatin capsules of dried, powdered ( fine), peyote. within an hour of consumption

..please let me maintain and not have a major freakout here in the airport....just let me maintain and get me on the plane!!!!".....once on board it's smooth sailing...lol

... dust billowed by covering everything with minute particles, giving it all including us that kind of 'used' look! Could we live here...maybe not. We carried on through San Antonio and Cedar Crest, to Tijiras, but Madrid remained the highlight, not for the English company, but for its quirkiness. If you want to know more about the history of the towns on this trail there is a web site...isn't there ...

... buildings around the Plaza area would be made to resemble the old adobe style. You really get the feeling of being in a quaint little town. One reason most people visit is for the overabundance of art here. Literally hundreds of shops and street-side stalls displaying jewelry, pottery, paintings, sculptures, and anything else you can think of. A stroll from downtown to the end of Canyon Road is more than anyone should try to accomplish in 1 ...

... the cages told us that a roadrunner, the state bird, was inside but we could not see anything. Later we learned from one of the park rangers that they only found pile of feathers one day and they suspected a desert animal from the weasel family slipped in between the bars and had a little snack. I guess the roadrunner did not get away this time. Beep!Beep! Thursday - Carlsbad is known for its Carlsbad Caverns which is one of the largest caves in the world. During the ...
