Sticking Close to Home

Early morning sunlight on the mountains

We decided it didn't make sense to take the Jeep out this morning, even for the short ride to the Grand View trailhead; we didn't want to risk breaking down on a Sunday morning and being forced to walk back to our place here in High Rolls.  Better to stick close to home and do short hikes around our property.  We can get in some exercise and take in the sights from the 7,000-foot elevation level.  Tomorrow morning I have to drive down to Alamogordo to see if an auto repair shop down there will be able to diagnose and fix our coolant leak.  This should be fun.
