We’re thrilled that we finally got our Arc’Teryx Theta SV Jacket back. After three months and eight emails (my original request email plus seven from the company) It’s been a long time coming but a least we have it back and they did a nice job with the repair. Back in November of last year …

About 100 miles west of Albuquerque, New Mexico sits the El Malpais National Monument which takes its name from the Spanish word Malpaís, meaning badlands. With a name like that full of danger and foreboding is it any wonder that Willow and I decided to give it the once over. If you were wondering about …
On our first full-day in the El Malpais National Monument, we decided to take it easy and relax but wanted to first take the quick six and a half mile drive and check out the La Ventana Arch. La Ventana (“the window”) is the second largest natural stone arch in New Mexico and the most …

Heading up towards the Northern edge of New Mexico we decided to check out what our camping options were around Santa Fe. As usual we try to focus on National Forest areas as it is regularly free and beautiful. Our second choice is BLM land. It’s also mid-week (Wednesday) which is when we try to …
Beside the Gila Cliff Dwellings and the White Sands National Monument one of the other Top 5 places we wanted to visit while exploring New Mexico was the VLA or Very Large Array. Many, many years ago I sat and intently watched each and every episode of Carl Sagan’s original 13-part series Cosmos: A Personal …
Hey, we’re in New Mexico! Besides our visit to the Gila Cliff Dwellings one of the more iconic and strikingly visual natural places we wanted to visit in New Mexico was the White Sands National Monument, hereafter referred to in this post as WSNM. The VLA is strikingly visual as well but man-made. We headed …
