There's no place to go tubing here in NM. Well, there's no god damn water.
It's supposed to rain on and off for the next few days, but I'll lose a pretty substantial deposit if I cancel. Oh well, we'll just have to make the best of it. At least there will be plenty of water -- unlike last year, when my tube was scraping the bottom.

You sir, need a road trip.
Stop whining and go to Taos.
Taos sucks. Bunch of god damn hippies with their earth ships and ty art galleries. Its like a worse version of Santa Fe. Colorado is where its at.
Is there good hiking out there?
No .
That's too simplistic. Much more than that happens.
Funny thing is here in Oregon, as many cold wet days we had, and an average temperature far lower than past summers in recent decades, we had three record hot days.
I attribute it to the fact we had so much more rain than normal, that after a couple sunny days, the added humidity increased the greenhouse effect substantially.
It's the water people. Not the CO2, that causes these real hot swings.
Average water will give average results. Under really wet conditions, the humidity causes the strongest greenhouse gas to show it's fury. Under severe drought conditions, there is little or no moisture to temper the heat, and water requires energy to evaporate, thus causes cooling when enough moisture for evaporation is available.

New Mexico?You sir, need a road trip.
Interesting place. Only been there once for a week, but I liked it. Went to solve problems at Intel's fab 11.
Probably, but the wife is kind of an "indoor girl". That's why I'm getting a cabin with cable tv, instead of a tent.
I don't think I could live somewhere where it rains constantly.
Now this thread has taken a turn - I'm jumping in
Love the Frio, never been to Taos, but heard it's grea, and Colorado is one of my favorite places...however...
next week me and family jet off for a week at a Villa in Tuscany; followed by 3 days in Venice....then some B&B's along the Alpine road around Munich, 4 nights in a castle near Berlin, and finally sharing some beers with friends in a town near Hamburg for a few nights....
Only drawback is the whole clan is going, so my time on the Autobahn will be spent driving a mini-van (VW Caravelle Diesel)
Hope it doesn't rain.
see you in Mid August.
(It's a tough life, but somebody's gotta do it)
I used to hate it in the Willamette valley, then lived on the other side of the Cascade (Sierra) mountains for almost a decade where it seldom rains, snows like crazy in the winter, and is hot as in the summer. Had 122F in the shade in my back yard one summer. Nicer weather for me, but not very green. Then I spent more than a decade in the military living in different states and countries. I grew an appreciation for home, where the rain keeps things so green.
Red River?
Damn one-upper!
I liked Taos, but I thought it was some garbage that they wanted to charge me to use my own camera. Can't one-up 101A, but headed to the high Sierra in a couple of weeks. I guess I'd have to echo the hope for no rain since I'll be right at the edge of the Sierra crest and above treeline for about 3 weeks, but my tent is really good with rain and wind and the Sierras aren't known for having the nasty weather you always see in places like the Beartooths.
Gotta echo the thoughts on Colorado. As soon as you cross over into the state from New Mexico or Wyoming the scenery jumps about a 100-fold. When passing through the state I was wondering why the I was going on to Yellowstone instead of staying there the whole time, lol. Shame on Manny for not including Utah as another badass state.
I hate all of you vacationing bas s.
I invite you to come come and carry my pack, teysha.

Why?
I have 345 hrs of accrued vacation time I can take. I have a week scheduled later next month I'm taking off. I'm thinking of extending that to 3 or 4 weeks. just haven't decided yet.
