Matt's New Mexico (Formerly Airstream) Adventure

I think we’ll be ok. There aren’t really any trees near us. It’s all desert. The National Forests are getting the brunt of it. We saw a lot of that in AZ. We tried to see a Joshua Tree forest that was supposed to be the oldest growth JT area in the region when we were near Lake Meade but it had just recently burnt down. Very sobering aspect to our trip.

We took the kids to Taos in March and came in on Hwy 64. There were some heavily burned areas near Palisades Sill along the Cimarron River. It’s was pretty surreal looking because it was only burned on one side of the river. I did wonder how long ago the fire happened because there wasn’t much re-growth yet.
I hate hearing that about Joshua Tree. We’ve never been and it’s up high on the list. It’s looking like the increase in wildfires will make that sight more common every year. Sucks

Great photos @Matt! What an amazing back yard you have.

One day I want you to give me a haircut when my hair grows back

Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad, was in the barber shop today. Super low key dude. I guess they’re unveiling a Walt statue and a Jesse statue in Old Town. He’s putting us on the guest list so that will be cool.
I should have gotten a pic but I didn’t want to be that guy. I’m a professional after all. Maybe if I see him at the thing. Stay tuned.

@Matt Great pics and awesome getting to meet Vince and the Guv. Every time I visit a desert area whether it's Arizona, New Mexico, Las Vegas, etc. I miss water and lakes badly after a couple days. Have you fully adapted to desert life?
