Walked on Camp May Road today.  Just past the Ocean, I followed a snow-covered dirt road back for
a comfort stop behind a tree and since I was right where the Route crosses the road, I decided to follow the Route for a short distance.  I saw shoe prints so someone else is using it.  I just hope they have a chainsaw and will remove all the trees that will surely fall on it in the coming years.

I had to test each foot step in the snow because I didn't want to wrench my right foot.  Next time, I bring ski poles with baskets.  My "hiking stick", the golf umbrella, didn't work well because it sunk up to a foot in the snow.  Also, I'll wear the Gore-Tex Brooks.

I returned to Camp May Road at Paint Ball Shell parking and.  Now I see why I always passed right by the Paint Ball Shell area - 3 big trees are uprooted and make it look so different.  Fortunately, they didn't fall on the Route!

The full name I call the Route is Camp May Road Route but the abbreviation thereof is unfortunate because it's the same as the lab's CMRR Project (Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Replacement).  I need to dream up a new name!  I hope some day someone sees the value of having a real trail in the woods alongside Camp May Road.  Without a shoulder, the road is dangerous for walkers and biker.  It's not mandated that the hoped for trail would follow the Route as there are a variety of ways to go.  It would be nice, though, if it connects to FR2998, like the Route does, because FR2998 connects to a trail that goes all the way up to the Pajarito Ski Area.

Saw a man fiddling with his iPhone near FR2998.  He said he wanted to snowshoe the Nail Trail.  I pointed to the forest road that would get him there but he was intent on learning how to find it by using the GPS on his iPhone and a TOPO! map printout so he paid me no mind.

Boatloads of overcast floated overhead when I started walking but they blew somewhere else and it ended up with mostly blue skies and sunshine when I got back to my car.

Writing in this everyday bores me so mostly I won't.  Perhaps my life is boring?  Oh, well, it's the only one I have and I'd better be grateful for it!

Watched DVD Surfwise last night with spouse.  Enjoyed it but an unusual family, indeed.  First read about 'Doc' Dorian Paskowitz in an AARP The Magazine article about family and his strict health regimen.  The documentary was made in 2007 and he was still keeping up his regimen but using a cane to walk.  He was born in 1921 and would be 91 now.  Both he and his wife, Juliette Paskowitz, are on Facebook, alive and kicking!

Browsed The Return of the River, book in Mesa Public Library about hopes for restoration of the Santa Fe River.  Didn't read all the poems.

Wanted to shred a few receipts this morning at Los Alamos National Bank but their Shred-It truck was delayed.  Do it another time.

To indicate how boring my life is, I found a slim book on the library's non-return shelves, more a pamphlet, called Eat, Drink Santa Fe: The City's 50 Best Restaurants.  I'm actually contemplating working through the book and eating at some of the more affordable ones, that we haven't already sampled, with spouse!
