The Dilt's had planned for a picnic site a bit past the Sandia Peak Ski area, but when we were near this destination, a closer unoccupied picnic ground looked very attractive as our cars were getting hot and our left legs tired from pushing so hard on the low band pedal.  We changed plans and thought the alternate, and lower elevation, picnic area was just fine!  The lunch of stew, beans, chips, cobbler, fruit, and cookies was delicious thanks to Julie and our other lady club members who generously planned and prepared the meal. 

The mini-tour was a lot of fun was only mared when the Gauna's depot hack broke down once they were back in town.  Thank you to Russell, Julie, and all the other contributing members who made this scenic outing so fun!
