After having survived the long, hot summer in New Mexico, the cooler autumn weather is a welcome change. The past few mornings it's been in the low 50's and the afternoon only reaches the mid 80's! The air conditioner is only on for a few hours, we can enjoy the cool evening temperatures, and we've even let the cats wander outside of the rig for a few minutes while we watch them closely.
The past week at work was busy, despite it being October. The annual Balloonfest in Albuquerque brought additional tourists to the cave. Also, we had the last 'Star Party' at the park last night. We had four telescopes set up for viewing, a couple of presentations about the night sky (including one by me) and the Draconid meteor showers. Only noticed one meteor myself, but up on the hill it's quite dark with the new moon, you can easily see the Milky Way! :-)
Hope to do some hiking next weekend. The leaves might be changing up in the mountains. John is waiting for his new camera to arrive, and I'm sure he'll want to get out and take some pics.
More soon...
Love to all,
VAL & JOHN
