South Side of Pajarito Mountain Bare of Snow

Walked 4 miles on FR181 today. There is still snow on it but also long stretches of mud. Didn't see much in the way of tracks except for truck tracks and people tracks. Clouds were hanging low like it's going to do something. Could see patches of sun under the heavy clouds to the northeast and to south. Except for what looks like a tiny patch of snow on the westernmost peak of Pajarito Mountain, the whole backside of the mountain is bare.

Baking Brussels sprouts right now, smothered in onion, garlic, dried mint, mirin rice wine and Range Sun Dried Tomato salad dressing. Tasted it a few minutes ago but it needs to cook more so onions soften. Smells delicious. Ate a pomegranate - yummy - while waiting for it to get done.

Article on the Valles Caldera Trust in tonight's Monitor said that Trust terminated contract with ENTRIX on business plan but that's not quite what was said at the meeting. Lucia Turner said that the business plan as delivered does not meet the original requirements in the RFP that ENTRIX contracted for and that negotiations were ongoing either to see if ENTRIX would do everything they said they would or, if not, then the Trust would re-nogotiate the contract for a lesser amount commensurate with the work ENTRIX actually completed.
