Sunset In Albuquerque

Beautiful New Mexico Sunset

Here is what an Albuquerque, New Mexico sunset is supposed to look like! This photo was provided by Patricia Lein. She is an internationally known artist, who resides in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area. She has been painting for more than 50 years. Can't wait to see the oil painting that comes from these photos. Pat also happens to be my beautiful mother and I am so very proud of her. Thanks for the beautiful photo's mom. They are awesome and so are you! Just wish we could be there with you and dad this Christmas season.

Merry Christmas Mom & Dad!

                          

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

May the grace of our Heavenly Father be upon you all the days of your life. I pray that you know God and that you speak to him each and everyday. I do and the relationship I have with our Heavenly Father is the source of my strength. He lifts me and carries me in all that I do. Each time I run on the Appalachian Trail, I enjoy my time with God and revel in the beauty of the mountains and the incredible forests, rivers, lakes and wildlife that he has placed here for our enjoyment.

Please say a prayer for our brave men and women in uniform. Our military forces are the finest in the World and our kids are 110% dedicated to ensuring our safety and maintaining our freedom. They fight tyrants in parts of the World most of us have never heard of, nor would want to visit. God Bless them all Lord! Keep them safe and help them find strength in you and teach them to lean on and fully support their fellow soliders. For it's as a team that they truly are at their best. Surround them with your earthly and heavenly angels and give them peace and comfort during this Christmas season.

Folks, please do something to let our troops know how much you care about the critically important work they do. They are so very appreciative of everything we do for them. They are often times so very young, we cannot forget them and must try to share some Christmas joy with them.

                  

Yellowstone Just Before Winter

Yellowstone National Park

One of the best times of year to visit Yellowstone National Park is Fall. Just before Winter, there is so much activity going on in the park. The bears are feeding heavily trying to prepare for 6 months in their dens. The Elk and Bison are beginning to migrate towards the lower elevations where they will find better Winter feeding opportunities. The park service is closing roads and certain areas within the park that will be harder hit by the soon to fall snow.

Geyser Basin

Geysers Near The Old Faithful Area

Old Faithful Geyser

This is the most famous and definitely the most photographed of all the geysers in the park. Old Faithful has been going off for hundreds of years, virtually every hour.  

          

Chattanooga Stump Jump

Well I did 20 miles instead of the 31 that I planned to do, but, I had an awesome time in Chattanooga. My hat is off to the folks who put on the Chattanooga Stump Jump 50K. They really did a wonderful job and I personally had a great time. The course was excellent. I highly recommend it to any trail runner. I promise, you will love it, but, do your preparation before you get to the race. The course is extremely challenging and will extract it's pound of flesh if you go unprepared.

View of Suck Creek, Approximately 5 Miles Into The Run

Mushroom Rock, Approximately 4.1 Miles Into The Run

The race is held in October which is the perfect time of year to run it. The temperatures were a bit chilly at race start time, but, quickly warmed up to a comfortable 70 degrees by midday. My training for this run will be more extensive next year. I was prepared for the climbing, but, wasn't ready to deal with the extremely technical downhills. The rock garden was also an interesting challenge. It amounted to half a mile of bouldering. Pretty cool, but, diffently a challenge at 16 miles into the run.

We make it a point to visit Coop at least once per year to spend time with he and his family. Folks, the fishing is awesome at Coopers El Vado ranch. For Jan and I, El Vado Ranch is as much a part of the New Mexico landscape as the red rock peaks surrounding Shiprock mountain or the Sandia Mountains facing the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
