Camping for Two!

Lisa and I had a wonderful camping trip last week! The Jemez mountains are beautiful this time of year so we saw nice views, green plants and the temperature was just right. When we set up camp I was expecting the regular "guys" campsite but Lisa added a cute style to the site with a simple table cloth, a clothesline, our cute camping chairs and even used a watter bottle as a vase to keep a few flowers in.

On the first day we set up camp, started a fire and cooked dinner before going to sleep.

The next day we hiked to a hot spring - actually it was a pool of water at just the right temperature - and after the two mile hike, jumping into a pool of water was very refreshing.

On the third day we took down our tent, packed up and drove to a trail head where we hiked through some very green vegetation while listening to the running water of a small stream - which was nice considering we live in a desert.

We haven't done very much hiking so far but we both find the outdoors enjoyable so with a newly purchased hiking guide to N.M. we will more than likely go hiking again and perhaps we will convince some of our friends to join us . . . especially since we want to hike a few remote trails where we'll want more people to accompany us - there is safety in numbers after all.
