Albuquerque and New Mexico are proving to be a wonderful escape function.

So far climbed around various national monuments (volcanoes, ice caves, mountains, and--today--one fantastic wind-carved canyon outta some Indy Jones movie).

Tomorrow we climb the Sandias. Hoping the great weather holds (50's, dry, no wind, few clouds).

Not losing any weight though. Too much good Mexican (and NM) food.

Great B&B though. Way cool SW architecture.

Only low-light: backing over my high-end, kid-carrier backpack.

Good news? That's one tough f--kin' backpack!
