Patty,

Hope you can make it. Nights at that elevation are cool and dry--a light sleeping bag will be just right. Daytime, shorts and a tee-shirt are just right if you have a light jacket for early mornings and late evenings. You can burn a lot of calories on a road bike--traffic is light, even by rural New Mexico standards.

Everyone brings food, and Kent and a few strays have to stay over an extra day or two, just to chow down on the leftovers. My lovely bride will be in Costa Rica, but she has promised to prepare a large batch of her green chile burritos for me to bring.

Don't know what I will be bringing to shoot, but I shot up way more of other people's ammo last year, as opposed to my own. I will try to hold up my own a little better this year. Never been in a more congenial and knowledgeable group of outdoors men and women--and that's saying a lot at my age and stage. And, then, there is Ken Howell--how often do you get to hobnob with a true legend!

Hope to see you there!


Ben

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...
