Bandelier

Saturday I decided to go for a drive. 220 miles later I found myself back at my apartment. I ended up driving up NM 14, just on the East side of the Sandias....ended up going through Madrid, and then found myself up in Santa Fe. Well, at this point, I'd only drove for an hour and a half or so...it was only 11:30, so I headed west towards Los Alamos and the Jemez Mountains. I finally got in that direction and started to follow signs to Bandelier National Monument. It was pretty amazing down there, and there were some good sites too. I did some hiking beyond the normal trails, but I didn't go too far. It was starting to get cold, the place closed at 4:30, and I didn't have a flashlight of any kind. It was a good time though, I enjoyed being out.
