In 2002, for my 47th birthday,
I wanted to share some of New Mexico's beauty with my friends. So, we went camping
and hiking together, which sounds much simpler than it really was, particularly
since public lands all over New Mexico were being closed due to fire dangers
-- including the campground I had decided on. So, as we would throughout the
weekend, we changed plans and picked a spot none of us had ever seen (this was
so ironic, considering that Merri and I made numerous reconnaissance trips to
other areas).
Here are 10 of the twelve of us who made the camping trip. You can point to each
face for info or use the following links:
Not in that picture but present on the camping trip were:
Jim Beard
Peter McCurdy
Ken & Benita Greenberg
You have this many friends?!
Yes. I feel very lucky.
Are these all the friends you have?
No, though they would suffice. I don't want to get greedy and count up all
my friends. There are also many people I feel friendly towards even if they
don't appear on these pages (you, for example).
