Going through the pictures from last weekend's run. Lots of good stuff. Almost too much. Planning to get them posted later today.

The Action Sequence

Last bit of photos.

Scenery:


Avian wildlife:


Taking turns climbing the rock:








Came up on some Jeepers but they quickly left. We thought it was something we drove but...


It was actually all the grasshoppers:


Amazing at how green NM can be:


Circling the wagons:


Critters:


More critters:


Quite the sign to signal the end of the run:

 

Thanks for posting those.

 

And thanks for organizing the run.

Hope we can get up to the north side of the caldera soon.

 

So for those that are interested I might try to make a run to Medano Pass in Great Sand Dunes again soon. Lots of water crossings I'll gladly lead but when we were there a month or so ago the gates were closed because of some serious water runoff. I'll try to figure out some dates and let you all know. But it was pretty amazing when we were up there.

Here is the info....Medano Pass

I think next time I should get to pick the date. You guys always pick the days that I work.

 

Does Saturday work better? Can find out if the others don't mind moving it.

 

Unfortunately I'm on graveyards Fri, Sat, Sun nights of that weekend (10/11-10/13).

I work a really strange schedule, but I'm off for four weekends in a row out of every six. One of the four weekends I'm on call, but I rarely get called in to work.

No need to rearrange the whole thing because of my wacky schedule. I'll make it out with you guys sooner or later. There's still lots of places to explore.

 

I'm already thinking of a Thanksgiving weekend meet. Would like to do something up north or maybe head out to the 4 Corners area. Thoughts?
