May have to go soon to pick up spouse at Reel Deal. He's there with grandson watching Wall-E. Before that, we went with grandson to Ponderosa Campground and walked out to the Indiana Jones Booby Trap Hideout Knoll.Grandson and spouse had a picnic while I walked out past Witch's Broom Tree and back for my 4 miles. They got back to the car just 10 minutes before I got back. Grandson remodeled and moved the Indiana Jones Booby Trap Hideout.
I saw a dried up elk or deer skin off but near the main Escobas Mesa Trail. The only bone around was a foreleg bone. Seemed strange.
The new Kelty backpack is lovely but it hits my hip just like my old one does and after a while it made my left shoulder ache. I need to try to adjust it. I really like all the extra room it has but that means that anything I carry falls to the bottom and it's not comfortable on my hip.
Friday night the skies cleared just enough for me to see this celestial line-up in the southern skies: Jupiter, Sagittarius (Tea-kettle), Cat Eyes, and Scorpio. What a beautiful sight they all were. Stargazer says a real light show is coming up for July 4th which will include Mars, Saturn, Regulus (I'm unsure on that but it's whatever one is in Leo the Lion), and the crescent moon!
Saw Lee today at the library. She was out with her boyfriend - George? He's such a gentleman. I saw him walk around to let her in the car. I guess that could get tired to me after a while. She's not hiking because she's been having some nosebleeds.
Yesterday was Santa Fe and there wasn't much leftover time.
