Walking in the homes of the ancients today. This place has been on my "must visit" list for a while. Similar - though not as grand in scale - as Gila Cliff Dwellings, but much more accessible. I look forward to exploring more of the park- 70 miles of trails! (at Bandelier Cliff Dwellings) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLQZKStlmbz/?igshid=1kk6n3sdajk08

This coyote was pretty interested in those cranes at the upper left. He kind of casually walked that direction. "Nothing going on.. I'm just walking over here for no good reason." The cranes didn't panic, but they kept maintaining distance. Compare the size of the cranes to the coyote (and it was one of the bigger coyote I have seen) and you get an idea of the size of those birds.

And we woke to a morning of snow. October is FAR too early for this (and I'm generally not a fan of winter anyway) but it sure is pretty this morning. (at Albuquerque, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG2WuHolQ2K/?igshid=1i1x1y8az3rrs

I spent Sunday riding my bike through Valles Caldera. I didn't see any of bear that live there, or the giant elk herd I have seen before, but I did see this guy out on the prowl. Before you ask, no roadrunners were present at the time. (at Valles Caldera) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFbA7QaFl90/?igshid=1c13ro3jh77vr

You can have your Oktoberfest. This is the time of year for a nice wet-hopped double IPA. (at Albuquerque, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFBVgGAFlNc/?igshid=1ihs52q90ytnq

This is the day New Mexicans burn Zozobra - Old Man Gloom. 53 - feet tall and stuffed with our glooms. Usually 65,000 people gather to watch him burn. This year we are still burning him in an empty park and the event is televised. My wife made one for us to burn in the backyard tonight. 2020 gloom, begone! Burn him!

COVID: You can take away gatherings. You can take the Isotope games. You can take away eating at my favorite restaurants. You can even take Balloon Fiesta. But you can't take away green chile season! (at Albuquerque, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEX56pml-Kj/?igshid=13tlcrrdl2e8e

From my first trip to Valles Caldera last fall. I can think of far worse places to be. (at Valles Caldera) https://www.instagram.com/p/CED3yBbFmBi/?igshid=j1llybhouohy
