gus, rich and sophie with tent rocksyesterday rich took a much-needed vacation day and we spent the day hiking kasha-katuwe tent rocks national monument. tent rocks is one of my favorite places on the planet--we used to go there in the mid-90s (when we lived here the first time) and hike. at that time, there weren't any signs or trail markings (it became a national monument in 2001) and my only directions were turn at the water tower in cochiti pueblo, drive 5ish miles and look for parking. and then you had to figure out where the trail was...now it is a little better marked, and there is a fee station, but it is still just as beautiful as ever. here are images of rich, gus and sophie--hopefully i will get my act together and make a digital exhibition on argusgallery.com of the rock/sand images (a digital "sand show"). enjoy!

happy sophie--she rode like this for over 3 hours!
everyone at the top of the trail--i think it was about a 1500 foot elevation from start to finish

gus found a throne upon which to eat his snack
