Still in New Mexico

I’m not complaining, but I am getting bored. The sun damage rating is 10 – about as high as it gets. Skin damage can start in 15 minutes. But when sitting in the shade, the constant 7 to 15 mph breeze is actually cooling. We have put on the retirement list as #2 due to beautiful weather, great home values for the dollar, lower taxes than IN, and breathtaking scenery. last week we strolled thru the square in Santa Fe, nice but all closed. We drove above Los Alamos labs and it is one huge complex with even more little buildings scattered thru the nearby hills. Since we are leaving next Tuesday to head west, I wanted to see the Sandia Peaks again. Got a little closer to the edge this time (maybe too close). We will keep up our daily hikes, start putting things away, and be ready to move once again next Tuesday. Thursday we are due near the Grand Canyon. Our five nights there might be stretched out if they are still closed but set to open in early May. We already pushed Yellowstone back to June 1, but they pushed their opening back to June 15. So everything is fluid.
