Happy birthday to me! In honor of the day, the 13th, we posted 13 pix. When we first visited the Chiricahua National Monument in 07 the weather and time weren't right for more than a quick visit. The weather and time were perfect today. We took the van to the top of the mountain and took 7 hours to hike the 7 3/4 miles back down to the bottom. Needless to say, since we are old people, we did more stopping for ogling than we actually walked. But with so many awsome sites to see, who can blame us? We have posted some of the well known ones--duck on a rock, kissing rocks etc. plus a few of us to balance things out--he he. At 8pm I was ready to hit the sack but managed to stay awake til 9. Hurray for the old people! Tomorrow, to loosen up our poor tight muscles we are planning on taking the little 3 mile romp to visit the ruins of Ft. Bowie with more pix to follow on the blog. What can I say, when we tour we blog.
Enough for now
Louise and Duane
