Longstride

We continued to be lazy today while we’re off-trail due to fire closures and snow, but at least we managed to go out for a short hike today.

• We went to the nearby Petroglyph National Monument this morning, hiking a two mile loop around Rinconada Canyon, looking at petroglyphs.

Riconada Canyon — View toward Albuquerque. Dramatic clouds sit over the Sandia Mountain.

• Rather dramatic clouds sat over the Sandia Mountains to the east of Albuquerque. It even looked like it could rain.
• We went to Old Town Albuquerque for a short while, then returned to our Air B&B. Patches ordered a Lyft back; his phone died immediately after confirming the ride, so we weren’t entirely sure we’d get picked up until the car arrived.
• We invited Muenster Cheese over for dinner. Mr. Freeze cooked a delicious chicken curry.
• Muenster Cheese will be soon leaving on a bit of a whirlwind tour of the US, visiting friends, before returning home to Germany.
