Magdalena mountains last weekend, by Elizabeth Campbell. This is less than ten miles from us, mountains thrusting up to nearly 11,000 feet from a plain over 6000, between us and Socorro 2500 feet below on the Rio Grande.

Nice to see some photos from the Mags! We had a cool, rainy week here too, but I'm definitely waiting to see June shape up before I contemplate early monsoon status. We can hope, though!
Great photos. The Ridge telescope, 2.4 meters, is a big'un. Gil
Awesome country to ride and be part of – so happy to have been there!
Oh to be in Magdalena, now that Spring is here!
Great, evocative pics that bring memories flooding back!
