We got smarter.

The crew took off to New Mexico to hike yesterday. Back in the middle of nowhere we encountered two guys at the trail head. The bearded guy and his companion had a few horses and mules. Kadizzle engaged the bearded fellow and asked about the trail. He said they had gone 8 miles and both been bucked off. He was thrown from the mule and the mule went over a steep embankment. No one was hurt, but it seemed like a close call for the men and the mule. The mule rider warned Kadizzle the trail we were about to embark on was a steep downhill on some rocky terrain.  

So down we went. It looked like some very enchanting country, but the trail was steep. At this point we realized it was not going to work. Debby had forgotten her hiking boots and was going to hike in some elaborate slipper. It was just not going to work.  After experiencing the steepness of the trail we realized that when the day ended we would be hiking up the steep side of a mountain. Suddenly good sense took over and we hiked a different area.
