Too long since I've been to the Gila...

Sounds like a nice trip. How long are you going to be up there? It's been too long since I've been though that area. I need to take my girls to the southern end of the Gila so they can see the cliff dwellings.

Granted I'm closer geographically, but you traveling alone or with another consenting adult would probably seem to take the same amount of time as it would for me traveling with my five daughters (ages 4-15)

By the way, Renault...

We've had a lot of rain up this way and into NM. I know you're not a "boot" when it comes to humpin' the mountains but be sure to pack some rain gear. We've had some pretty good storms lately.
