I left elk camp in search of something new. Something that was true, that gave me answers to the emptiness I felt inside. Oh wait – I just needed lunch. Well anyways I was in Roswell now so figured I should check out some alien tourist traps. I give you the tinfoil-hat Mecca known as … Read more
Our friend Jason drew an archery elk tag for New Mexico GMU 37 in September. I didn’t draw myself but was lucky enough to help on the hunt for a few days. Can’t give away our “secret” spots but this was near the town Capitan on Lincoln National Forest / BLM lands. We moved around … Read more

George RR Martin, creator of Game of Thrones, is the landlord and Meow Wolf is the art collective which has created an amazing immersive experience that can really only be described through the photos. You start … Read more
Made it to my hotel in Sata Fe in one piece! Drive through the mountains wasn’t so bad after the first 100 white-knuckle miles down the mountains. Believe the pass I drove through was approaching 10,000 feet but grades were fairly gradual. Got lucky once again and split the green & blue on the radar. … Read more
