Microburst August 16, 2015 - Percha Dam State Park, NM

Mostly pictures today, and not many words. No thanks necessary.

Thank goodness my shoes didn't move an inch.

This stuff moved about 20 feet. Shouldn't shoes move feet?

Spud is a tank. 

Rangers were there first thing in the morning to begin clearing.

Everything is fine. No injuries, and not even any real property damage. "Microburst" sounds so cute! Like chewing gum with mouthwash inside.

Rolling Solo - Caballo Dam State Park

There have been expected shifts in circumstance, some unexpected thrills, and some humorous encounters. I don't wanna give them a lot of extra energy and power, so I'll just say 1) challenging departure, 2) microburst over Percha Dam State Park, 3) wildlife encounters a) indoors, and b) outdoors. I'll show you the aftermath at Percha next time. Spud is a tank, apparently, because by the time I ventured out, I could barely move the branches off her, and she is fine. Me? Only psychic trauma.

This is not my microburst. I thought you'd like to see the KAPOW!! it can deliver, and why going through one in a tent under a tree is something you might tell your Facebook friends about.

Exhilarating! Life-affirming! Opportunities for butt-tent purchase!

So, all is well. I'm well, my traveling friend is well, Spud is well. I've had fun being in and near Truth or Consequences and seeing Sue, Steve (thanks for the Reiki, Steve!), and Annie. It was just the thing to transition me back into solo living.
