“I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it.”
-Rosalia de Castro

It’s Friday night and I still have not settled on Saturday’s destination. Forest, grassy plains, or rock strewn canyons? It’s hard to make such choices with these surroundings. Like I always say - “Never a wrong turn until your last”

Stay Tuned…

Cross at Corralitos

Few things are better than ending the weekend on the desert plains. Fall has finally moved in and put a chill in the air. Many more miles to go.

Stay Tuned..

The Long Trip Home

With the help of an inspiring State, I have created this blog to make a journal of my travels in and around New Mexico. As a child, regularly traveling into the Gila Wilderness with my father made for an early understanding of nature’s expanse and draw. As I grew older, I quickly forgot about places such as the Gila and headed to college in Texas destined to make a final exit from what I considered a barren place. As the college years passed I found myself returning home to the grassy plains and rugged hills seeing things again as if for the first time. Still outwardly unimpressed, I pushed my exploration into Colorado looking for my "ultimate territory". While 14,000 foot peaks provided a sensational quick fix I began to realize my natural magnetization back to the Land of Enchantment. After graduation I found myself headed home, bound for what I had always known to be true space and beauty- New Mexico.
