Well now you have an excuse to come back to New Mexico. :bike_rider:
I haven't been there in years but I remember going up north of Albuquerque in the mountains a few times and it was awesome...trout deer etc...just awesome. Seemed like it wasn't that far....am I remembering right? it was when I was in my late 20's and now I'm in my 60's....sniff, sigh......:sombrero:

The Jemez Mtns are only about 45 minutes north from ABQ. There are deer, elk and trout there. I don't go up there too often though because it seems that's where the crowds go. If you like seclusion like I do, then the southern San Juan's and Sangre de Cristo's are less than 3 hours north from town. Higher peaks and more beautiful scenery in these ranges.
Spent alot of time in the San Juan's and Sangre de Cristo's ........ Man I love Oregon but I remember how truly beautiful and rugged it was there.....I would recommend them to anyone. easterners were always so awestruck like it wasn't real..:coffeedrink:

yeah right now I just miss the west. yeah, they have some cool stuff out here on the eastern side of the US but I have and always will be a nor cal, pac NW guy.
NM had some merrits to as we drove through but we missed a lot being in a hurry. I would also love to explore some areas in AZ and UT.

That 2nd shot is exposed perfectly Brad. To get everything exposed right and still have the water soft is pretty hard to do!!

Thanks. I wish the scene was better but it was convenient right behind our campsite so I used what was there to practice.

Thanks John.
I am envious of my friends that have retired and have the time to travel. About 5 more years for me.
In the mean time I'll look for opportunities to visit areas I haven't seen yet in the SW like Canyonlands and work on my capturing skills. :sombrero:
