Papa Tom gets back from New Mexico: July 13, 2017

Papa Tom surveys the progress.  He arrived back from New Mexico at about 2 a.m. Thursday, July 13, 2017.  His favorite trail in Ruidoso was destroyed by forest fire and flooding a few years ago.  He could only hike in about 1.5 miles before the trail disappeared.  We hiked his favorite trail on our honeymoon: 12 miles round trip.  Magical experience at the top of the mountain (about 10,000 feet):  lots of horned toads hopping around.  Then three stealth bombers flew past, almost at eye level to us.  The ancient and the futuristic, all at one time.
