The Organ Mountains
October 16, 2005 |
random trip report |
Michela Taufer, her husband Andre Kerstens, and I
took a break from intensive discussions of the Future of Computing
to take a short trip to the Organ Mountains of New Mexico
(so-called because their crenellated ridge resembles a row of organ pipes).
We took a delightful 4-mile hike on the 'Pine Tree Trail'.

The clouds were attempting to upstage the mountains. Check out the full-size image - unbelievable!

Whew! That was scary.
We had a view (not shown here) of the White Sands Missile Range,
site of the explosion of the first atomic bomb.
