- Updates to my Chaco website: Una Vida, Hungo Pavi, and Chetro Ketl
Many years ago, I created a website to document my experiences in Chaco Canyon in the northwest corner of New Mexico in the southwestern United States. Chaco is a gorgeous and remote canyon that contains extensive ruins dating from 900 to 1100 BC (very roughly). The original structures were built by the people variously known […]

Updates to my Chaco website: Una Vida, Hungo Pavi, and Chetro Ketl
Many years ago, I created a website to document my experiences in Chaco Canyon in the northwest corner of New Mexico in the southwestern United States. Chaco is a gorgeous and remote canyon that contains extensive ruins dating from 900 to 1100 BC (very roughly). The original structures were built by the people variously known as the Anasazi (per the Navajo and others), Ancestral Puebloans (by modern Puebloans), or Hisatsinom (per the Hopi). I’m now in the process of updating my site. At this time, you’ll find the following pages:
Content update consists primarily of photos taken over the past 10 years, though more text will follow, eventually.

It’s hubris to judge other people’s karma. — thought for the day
That’s a mixed maxim with considerable cultural depth and diversity.

- Black Canyon Campground near Santa Fe, NM
We camped near Santa Fe in a great little campground near the bottom of the ski basin road. Black Canyon CG has paved sites with great separation, clean outhouses, no hook-ups. It’s barely an hour from Albuquerque and near 8500 feet. There is a good trail out out of the campground and another to Hyde […]

- You want to see hawks? Get thee to Estancia Basin pronto.
Merri notes, “After reading Judy Liddell’s bird report for the Estancia Basin, we headed to Clements Road just south of I-40 and just outside of Estancia. Wide-open ranches dominate the landscape out there. Driving and walking down dirt roads, we saw more than TWENTY ferruginous hawks, 4 rough-legged hawks, 2 red-tails, 2 golden eagles, some […]

- Time Travel in Colorado
We’ve been camping in Colorado for more than two decades. Most years, we head up north before the end of June, but this year my book project kept me busy well into July and we hit the road 7/10 for 14 nights away. This year, our travel plan was vague: head north until we encounter […]

- Birds and more in Alameda Bosque, north of Albuquerque, New Mexico
We visit the area around Alameda frequently. There is a large free parking area just southeast of the bridge. This area is the northern end of the miles-long Paseo del Bosque bike trail through the bosque. Within an easy walk are the old bridge, now closed to cars but used by walkers, cyclists, and equestrians, […]

Rain! Real Rain!
When it rains in the desert, you tell people. Some are happy for you; some are jealous that it didn’t rain where they were (which might be one block over). We got drenched and muddy playing volleyball in Los Lunas today. It rained two or more times, for 10 or 15 minutes. Wonderful. Heavenly. Joyous. Everyone wore big smiles and talked about what a great day it was. I’m not sure anyone outside of the desert can really appreciate that rare joy.
Meanwhile, in Albuquerque, there was water in the gutters at the southern end of town but not a drop a few miles north at our house.
