Good Morning All,
My vacation in New Mexico at 7500' elevation was splendid! Clear blue skies, big puffy clouds and rain, good friends, wild turkeys every morning (as many as 22 at a time) and of course larger animals like Bull Elk within 20 to 30' of the house! The creek out front of the house is running though it is small and COLD, nice mountains to hike though I took only a brief hike up the hill as Elk, Wild Hogs and Mountain Lions are plentiful and I was without my insurance policy, very nice country to be in! Pictures coming...............63bkpkr

(Note: I still plan on heading for NorCal though now in early September. I plan on being there into November.)
MTTS - I hope your ear and body have recovered!!
