Aguirre Springs, Organ Mountains, outside Las Cruces, New Mexico. The wind last night was incredible!!! When night fell, the wind picked up, but it wasn't consistent. it would be a gentle breeze for a while and then a 35 mph gust. This went on much of Read More...

Well, it's laundry day. We just bought some Coleman fleece bag liners and need to wash them to de-fuzz them. We've been using our 0 degree rated down sleeping bags that have been keeping us warm enough, but since we've only been able to shower about every Read More...

We found out by daylight that we weren't in the place the officer suggested... oops! We were in an arroyo, a dry creek bed. We drove further down the road and found the spot he was referring to, but it was really trashed. It was definitely the party place. Read More...

We took an early morning hike in Water Canyon. We found some old foundations from previous homesteads. We had a quick breakfast from the tailgate. We stopped in Socorro at the public library to update our website with their high speed internet access. Read More...

Jen went to work and we hit the road. We checked out a town Jen mentioned, Madrid (pronounced Mad-rid), NM. The road out there is under construction and we're moving kind of slow. The town of Madrid is a too small artsy town, but not natural artsy, more Read More...

This morning was also cold, even though we're heading south. It was 11 degrees this morning, but it didn't seem as bad as the night in Pike National Forest. Mike, Robin's husband, had to leave early this morning for a job out of state. Robin took the Read More...

We slept pretty well last night, despite it being really cold. We had a water bottle in between our pillows in the truck to keep it from freezing, but when we took it out to brush our teeth, it quickly started to freeze. Our thermometer said it was 15 Read More...

We saw three foxes outside this morning, walking down the trail. Andrew is still busy with his geo-blogging. He wants to get more of this done before we head out into the desert. We had a brief power outage this morning. I think something is trying to Read More...

This morning we went up to the Cordillera Market to update the website. This morning Andrew found out that Community Server had an update come out and our site wasn't working right. So, we went up to the market for some high speed Wi-Fi and a cup of tea. Read More...

We got 6 or more inches of snow overnight. The weather report is for more snow today, but the sun is shining this morning. I decided to shovel the snow from the driveway. Being a Florida girl, I've never shoveled snow before and I thought this would be Read More...

Andrew was feeling tired this morning, so I took a snowshoe hike alone. It was just around the neighborhood, the Camino del Norte loop. Andrew made lunch when I got back (he was feeling guilty about not cooking, something I noted in a previous post ). Read More...

Another morning snowshoe hike in the White River National Forest , but this time we took the Stag Gulch trail #1866. This trail went up and up and up. We got some beautiful views through the aspens and a distant view of the Holy Cross Wilderness area. Read More...

We took a morning snowshoe hike on the Squaw Creek trail #1897 in the White River National Forest just up the road from the house in Cordillera. This trail rolled up and down a bit and passed through some private property. At first we could tell the trail Read More...

We spent the morning uploading our photos into the new website location. Community Server has a few bugs, but it's the best one Andrew found for us to use. Our website is finally up!! WHOOPEE!! It has taken so long and we've had so many problems with Read More...

About 5 degrees (F) this morning. We saw a coyote walking on the golf trail outside this morning. It's too cold to snowshoe this morning, so we decide to take a day off. We went into the Chef's Corner at the Cordillera Market for some high speed Wi-Fi Read More...

We got out for an early snowshoe hike on Camino del Norte again. It was much easier because we packed the trail yesterday and it was quicker because we weren't shooting any videos. It looked like snow was coming our way, but we didn't get any. It was Read More...

We took a linger snowshoe hike along a trail called Camino del Norte (North Trail) and took some videos and photos along the way to play with. When we got back, I spent most of the afternoon and evening putting them into a video I called "Snow Fun with Read More...

We tried out our snowshoes this morning. We got the bindings on without any trouble and within the first few minutes I was in love! We've got to get some of these!! We learned a few things very quickly: groomed trails, like the golf cart trail out the Read More...

We got out and played in the snow this morning. There's a big drift on the back deck that we made a snow cave out of - then destroyed it. We went for a walk around the neighborhood, then worked on the computers. Andrew's been researching a new server Read More...

It snowed last night. Andrew and I went for a walk this morning. We tried to walk on the golf cart path, but we soon post-holed in snow well over our knees. The snow plows are out, so we continue our walk on the roads around the neighborhood. We got a Read More...

We left Hays and drove west across the rest of Kansas and into Colorado (finally!). It's hard to tell eastern Colorado from Kansas, lots of flat plains and nothing. Our entertainment was watching tumbleweeds commit suicide by running in front of the truck. Read More...

We stepped outside this morning to get something out of the truck and were surprised to see an ambulance in front of the hotel office with it's lights on! We were holing it wasn't the nice older lady that checked us in last night. We talked to the guy Read More...
