Gallup to Albuquerque

Woke up to absolutely clear skies, not a breath of wind and temp in the high 30's.  The front that went through us yesterday has moved on, making headlines and tornadoes in the mid west.  Took a small side trip to a natural arch in the El Mapias National Monument/Conservation Area.  More striking scenery





One of Teri's favorite pastimes, hiking along cliffs and long drop offs.



Spending the afternoon reading and doing nothing; we're meeting Casey & Cassie Moores for dinner, unless their baby decides to make his/her first appearance outside (the womb, I mean).
