Good to hear! I'm glad the West is getting into your blood. If you ever leave, you'll find your heart yearning to see the mountains again.
I'm off to see some of my favorite mountains again tomorrow in southern NM. Won't be the same camraderie that I've gotten used to. I'm bringing the "B-Team" with me and it's going to be a series clash of personalities. Codename Ponytail Girl is legendary for annoying the heck out of everyone. She thinks she knows it all, is in charge, and that everyone is present to serve her every need. *sigh* She is also on record for not wanting to "stay in that hellhole any longer than she has to." Grrr. Ya can't say that about my White Sands!!
So book an extra long trip. :)
