Today will be our third Saturday at the Hillsboro NM Farm Market with our coffee. It’s been going well! We sold out last week! Also learning how to make reels…

Wow! Suddenly the flow from our hot spring has doubled! And it’s hotter, too! (Didn’t have a thermometer to verify, but it feels several degrees hotter). Don’t know what’s going on, but I like it! #truthorconsequences #newmexico #hotsprings #southwest

A little creek in the Gila Wilderness last September, several miles in from the trailhead. Hiking in southern New Mexico is the best!

Trying to get a local trail group together in Sierra County, NM. There’s already a plan moving forward to build a footbridge across the Rio Grande in TorC, and we have a trail day scheduled in the Black Range on March 16! Hope to do more before then.
