Saturday WInd

Old-timer Yucca
The wind was really bad this morning, making for a disappointing hike.  On the way back we saw a huge cloud of sand blow across I-25--visibility 0%.  I was glad we weren't on the highway.  The wind has been howling all day, dirtying up the atmosphere big time.  This is a good day to stay indoors.

On our visit to New Mexico in March 2008, we visited Acoma Pueblo and the wind was howling. At that time, Kali was wearing contact lenses and had forgotten to bring her glasses with her, so we took the guided tour with Kali's face buried in a woolen scarf to keep our the dust and grit!

I love Acoma Pueblo. Beautiful place. If you ever get a chance, Scott, visit Oraibi in northern Arizona.
