Checking in...

Just dropped in to leave a quick update. We had a good (read: no one died) hike yesterday, 11.8 miles -- as the GPS wanders -- through some rough and ruggedly beautiful terrain in Guadalupe National Park. For the second consecutive year, the weather was uncharacteristically mild and calm; I'm afraid we're getting spoiled. We saw just one other person during almost 6 hours on the trail.

I hope to have a better report later, with some photos. In the meantime, here's a teaser. This is a view of the face of El Capitan and, yes, that's the moon peeking over the crest, at around 11:00 a.m.

Hey, that's a neat photo!

Notice how the moon looks like it's just ready to line up with that notch in the crest! Makes you wonder what happens if you're around when the moon lines up just right!

The place probably gets rather interesting.

Wonderful, wonderful shot! Would make a great framed piece over my fireplace mantel.

This weekend was really perfect weather, for sure.

You have way too much fun - I am envious!
