Powerline Mesa Trail-Broken Mesa Trail

Pleasant hike with 3 women of the Monday hiking group on Broken Mesa Trail, starting from the Powerline Mesa Trail.  We didn't go up on top of  Broken Mesa to see the small house ruin and kiva-like ruin  nor did we go out on the unnamed mesa at the saddle for an overlook of the Rio Grande.  They had gone on this hike before and had a hot lunch date back in La Senda.  I was invited too but had to go home to see a talk at the senior center on kidney health.  

The weather was good - no snow or ice on the trail.  Snow had been predicted last night but didn't materialize.  They had their car parked at where the Broken Mesa Trail starts on NM4.  My car was parked at the Powerline Mesa Trail so I walked the connector trail back.  They would have taken me back but, "when in doubt, take a hike".  It was very quiet after they departed - lonely.

Daughter ran the Powerpoint slide show at the doctor's talk.  Was fun to see her there and she did a good job!  Talk was interesting.  Take care of your kidneys because dialysis is an imperfect, stop gap measure that at best only buys time until a kidney becomes available.
