Just joined this site on 2/7/11...Originally from Pittsburgh, moved to New Mexico in 1993...love hiking but don't have courage for any rope work...like my bones unbroken, and tend to do a lot of solo hiking and camping. Live at 7,300 feet on the Pajarito Plateau in Los Alamos right next to Bandelier National Monument (more elk than I can count). While New Mexico is cool, I get to southern Utah as often as I can (> 35 trips). Much prefer desert canyons and mesas to mountains. Special place in my heart for badlands (the real kind). A former scientist, I spent most of my adult life couped up in laboratories until I moved out West and now try my best to make up for lost time.
