Maureen and I went for a walk. This is what we saw...

Now, Albuquerque does have a mountain on the East side of the city. It doesn't look like much from the City floor, but once you get up to the Crest and take one of the MANY nature trails, this is what we saw...

Driving up the mountain...



Stopped for some photo ops of the Truck...







Visitors Viewing from the Crest. Albuquerque from above...






Our journey on one of the Nature trails...

.















We left about 5 minutes before the storm... In the distance, you can see the rain at the EXACT spot we were at...

 

Yes Kevan, I was able to steal the camera from Maureen and snap some great shots of her.







Here is the link for ALL of the other pictures we took...

Awesome pictures and YOU are 1 lucky man and congrats on hitting 7,000

 

There's nothing like a little nature hike to rekindle the soul! Great pics.

 

Thanks Andy. And YES, I am very lucky. :worthy:

Absolutely Rick. We did 1.2 miles total. .6 down and of course .6 back up.

LOL Nothing like walking up a moutain that sits at almost 10K feet. haha NO fricken oxygen.

 

Nice pix Ron!

 

and here I thought AB was nothing but desert. If I ever decide to move I think I will move to AB and live next to Ron

 

lol three house for sale on my street. One is across the street.

 

Very nice country out there Ron...My family and I just got back from 10 days in Colorado...makes me want to move out west! :grin:

P.S. Very nice wife too, makes me wonder how the hell you did it.....:sly:

 

Lol...first off, beautiful pics. And 2nd, you are one lucky man fo sho! haha. That's nice...I had to change the topic here since Mona is watching tv and I started saying how NM looked real nice from the pics of your nature walk. Don't want her to get any crazy ideas about some hike and what not lol...I would probably die in that thin air! Quick! Somebody call rescue! This man needs oxygen hehehe. Oh wait, forget it...he just lit up a smoke.

 

Beautiful pictures....nature shots looked good too...:usflag:

 

have i mentioned how much i hate you all for living out there! hahaha....i want to live in a cool place like that!

kewl pics big ron!...the only thing i can have up here that can compare is you can from a few select spots get a good view up and down the hudson river....however they are PITA to get to lol

 

Albuquerque is definately NOT a cool place to live!!! The only scenery around here is on that mountain! The rest of it is dirt, sagebrush and juniper bushes (they do not grow large enough to be considered trees!!)

The coolest place to live... Washington State. The western side, Seattle/Tacoma.... :grin:

 

between your pics....and gabes pics...and nevins pics....i've seen some really cool scenery! haha...and that looks like a pretty sweet place to go hiking!

 

Bandwidth be damned!
It's worth it. :grin:

Thank you, Maureen!
(oh, and thanks Ron. LOL)

BTW- at about 2PM today we had a doe and 2 fawns in the backyard. Tonight, it's Raccoon Heaven again (5 out there now; mom and 4 babies).

 

lol Knew you would appreciate the pics. haha

Nice. I dig Racoons. They are just as mischievous as me. lol

 

Awesome scenery. I would show you where I live but I think everyone has seen a Home Depot, Lowes, Target and Taco Bell....LOL Nothing to see here people, move along.
And the wife hates when I take pics of her.
Thanks go out to your wife aswell. She looks like a good sport! Very sexy.
By the way, I'm glad to see you didn't put a hole in that pretty doe.

 

From spring 2007, on our back patio:





Our record at one time is 17. :grin:

 

Yea..we have the same problem with coons getting into the birdfeeders and garbage cans....I ended up having to buy a new grill...:whistle:

 

Damn that's great. I see that you are feeding them well. haha

I can't believe you did not notice what shirt Maureen is wearing in her pics? Yea yea yea, you have to actually pay attention to the material, not the content. haha
