El Camino Real

 Back in CA, El Camino refers to a traffic-infested sewer of cars through the South Bay.  Here it is the remnant of an old route from Mexico City to a Santa Fe; we had a nice ride on a single track section of it on Saturday out to Diablo Canyon.

Changing seasons

 

There was snow on the hills in several directions this morning:

to the east on the ski hill above town, 

to the south on Sandia Peak near Albuquerque, 

and to the west on the rim of Valles Caldera (pictured).  

Good morning for a mountain bike ride!

Parental visit

 My parents came out to visit last week; naturally this meant my dad couldn’t resist a little tree work…

Sunset retaliation

 Chad is jealous of the camera on my phone…

Clearing storm

 We got a bunch of rain today; we’re in a little gap between showers right now as the sun is setting.

Rio Grande

We went exploring in the truck over the weekend, but one could also easily ride a bicycle from our house to the Rio Grande.

Chad the Elk

 

We got slightly off course at Valles Caldera last weekend and veered in to ElkLand.

Moonrise and Sandia Crest

 I can’t believe it’s almost October, where did September go?!?

We live in New Mexico now!

After a long hiatus, due to internet fatigue and general busyness with life, we are attempting to revive the blog posts. In the intervening year (nearly), we have relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The story of how that came about will be fodder for a future post. In the meantime, enjoy this scenic view from our new porch!
