Lowdown on the High Country

In the lower Chihuahuan Desert (at about 4400 feet)

Becca and I did a quick hike this morning before heading home to finish packing for a short trip to our place in the Sacramento Mountains.  The Sacramentos are considered a "sky island" surrounded by desert.  Highest point in the mountains is Cathey Peak at 9,646 feet.  Needless to say, it's chillier up here--a bit over 50F when we arrived at noon.  The weather is supposed to be beautiful for the Thanksgiving Day weekend.  Hope everybody has a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Getting ahead of things

I always feel that Becca is thinking, "What's taking so long, pokey?"
