Matt's New Mexico (Formerly Airstream) Adventure

[Matt]

All that stuff is on our radar.  So much to take in here.  We’re going to see Japanese Breakfast at Meow Wolf without the kids.  We’ll take them there eventually.

Here’s lunch.  Sturgill is killing it on the radio…

How was Japanese breakfast? Also meow wolf? Only ever heard amazing things about that place

[Matt]

That’s not until October.  We’re excited about both.  Dinosaur Jr in Feb.  Happy to be going to shows again.

Today’s hike was the Devil’s Hall Trail.  The girls did well for a 4.5 miler under a hot sun with plenty of large flies and some rock scrambling.

@Matt:

large flies

Is that what the flying thing is on the left of the 3rd image?

[Matt]

That could be  a hawk.  They have golden e Ashley’s too.  Probably not that.  Good spot.  The flies were about the same size though.

So far every night here involves us fighting an epic battle with our children to settkecthemcenigh for us all to go to sleep.  Alas, suites were not available here.  Thank God for this little gem…

Looks battle hardened

It was a gift from a former coworker.  She’ll never know it’s true value.

We’re doing the cavern tour tomorrow but we did the bat flight talk last night.  There’s an amphitheater at the mouth of the cavern opening and every night at sunset 500,000 bats ascend to frolic.  No photos allowed sadly.  It was pretty magnificent though.  Lots of Karen’s saying shit like “How muchlonger are these bats going to be?  I can’t sit out here all night.”    ???

I found a YT video for you…

Living Desert State Park has a zoo…

This Diamondback was pissed…

Tender prairie dog moment…

[Matt]

Caverns today.  Unfortunately my shitty pics don’t do it justice.  800’ down, 3 mile hike.  Amazing…

[Matt]

Bad wifi at the hibachi restaurant.  Lots more to come…
