The WRSC took a long drive (very scenic - Paul even took the High Road back through Pensaco, Las Trampas and Truchas!) for a short hike - 3.62 miles - along the Santa Barbara River. We turned around at the first bridge because a thunderstorm was threatening. There was light rain on the walk back and during lunch. As we finished our lunch, some people asked if we were staying overnight. They were happy to find out that they could claim that primo camping spot near the river! New Mexico has some really beautiful country to explore.
The house painter was gone when I got back around 3:30 pm (first drove by some White Rock houses for sale) but, boy, he accomplished a lot! I don't even recognize the house now - so good to be rid of that dark brown trim. He'll come back next week and finish up. That kid is priceless!!
