Drive and a Stroll

Driving into OMDPNM

Because Becca isn't supposed to resume normal activity for 10 to 14 days I couldn't do a hike with her this morning; what I did instead was to let her climb the ramp into the car and accompany me out to Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument.  I found a pullout on the road into the Sierra Vista Trail parking area and allowed her to roam a bit in the desert.  She was able to sniff around and eventually do her business.  We then drove a ways on the Baylor Canyon road before heading home.  She enjoyed getting out there, and, from all appearances, handled the physical exertion well.

Partly cloudy morning

This and the next three:  various looks at the Organ Mountains

This and the rest:  the glorious Organ Mountains
