On Saturday evening, Lucky, Jon and I went for a great, but short, hike in the Sandia's. We hiked straight up from the big rock wall at the top of Candelaria. It was quite vertical, so on the way back, I spent a lot of time sliding on my butt. It sure was pretty, though. When we got as high as we were going to go, we sat down and Jon and I (but, thankfully, not Lucky)saw three deer right in front of us. We sat there, quietly in awe, at the scene of three deer in the wilderness, with a huge bustling city right behind them. They seemed so oblivious to all that was going on. It was amazing!

um... rocks and cacti

Oh no - it's getting dark! Hurry UP!
The lights turn on, and the hike ends.

That is EXACTLY where I used to live - the row of condos right in front of the Candelaria parking lot. P and I used to walk/run many of the foothill trails, and climb the steep ones!
FUN times.
