Hike and (no) Huck

James Bradley and I hiked up Blue this morning. The winds were strong and building, so we decided not to fly. One of the nice things about hike and huck style flying is that even if you get skunked you still get a good hike out of the deal. The view of the vast, stinking desert was great today because all the wind of the last few days has scrubbed the air clean of Albuquerque's exhaust. James took this picture of me walking along the edge of the ridge.
