Quinners, Climbing, Santa Fe, and Plug ins

We were once again on the move and blessed with the
presence of P,B and Quinners in Santa Fe. This is me on a 165 ft climb in Diablo Canyon. You can see the dog sleeping on a rope bag for a perspective of how high we really are. When that sun went down, the wind was horrendous but we ended up getting down only half frozen and thankful (ahh wind, my favorite element). We then took a 2 hour moonlight hike and Bug had so many encounters with cactus that I carrried twizers in my pocket. Any dogs want to volunteer to teach Bug how to walk through the desert??
This is our view of the Rio Grande and a giant Cholla from our climbing spot on White rock. Breathtaking and only 30 min from Santa Fe.


We Stayed with Paul's momma, Elie, in Santa fe,had amazing breakfasts(with decaf coffee for Mac) and climbed during the day. Another great 4 days off. Quinn even sent a 5.12c on his first try!!! On sun, we drove back to Albuquerque to meet Joe P and Ansely and climb in the Sunshine at Las Palomas. Great trip.


Bug's girlfriend, Sadie, licks him for about an hour every night and he basically lays there. Have you heard of the ice cream doggie treats?? They sell them in Albertsons in the ice cream section. Check it out!!
Mac has spent the last 2 days converting a Pruis to a plug in with this man we met at Trader Joe(I love that store!!!). The guy gets the kits from lesbians that own a car garage in san fran and he puts them in for people. Mac will probably get trained in this to have it as a side job. Pretty awesome technology. Too bad that the kit isn't for our car, only 2004 and later.
