Full Moon in New Mexico (buy, distance, places)

If you watch the original video while at Youtube you see the title, if you watch it from here the title should be clipped off... (Added: Ahhhh it is only clipped the first time. If you replay, the title is not blanked out. This technical stuff get irritating...)

I started on one last night, had technical problems, then remembered, "I thought I did this before"...

I'm posting from the Main (public) library in Albuquerque and I can tell you I am not at all surprised it's a full moon. People are really berserk today.

Dang, missed the full moon last night. I'm up in Soggy's neck of the woods - yep dear old WET Seattle. Visiting my newest Grandson for his first birthday next week. I wish I could send some of the wet rain down that way, we sure do need it. Certainly is pretty up here this time of year though, even though that has nothing to do with the original post....oh yeah....back to the full moon Well, I'll make sure I'm around for the next howling.....

It's still full for a couple more nights.
Seattle rain seems to be different and more damp than any rain I've been around.

I'll never forget one autumn night, a friend and I went for a long hike in the Gila Wilderness. We hiked a little longer than we intended, were not equiped and were headed back down to the car on a mountain trail and the sun suddenly went down. Well -- maybe not suddenly but too fast for us, we were far from the end of our trail and as there are no street or city lights out there, it got pitch dark, so dark we couldn't see the trail at all. We sat down wondering what to do -- so far from civiilization, no sleeping bags, jackets, flashlights and the night temperatures were going down to low 30's-upper 20's.

Then off in the distance we saw a gold light. Small at first but growing larger and then realized it was a golden autumn full moon rising over the tree covered mountains. Soon the path was lit up, the whole forest was bathed in light and the hike down was wonderful.

Yes. It's reassuring to know there are still a bit of real wilderness places left, places where you really can find yourself on your own and could suffer consequences of stupidity -- unless the moon comes out and rescues you!

As they fill the SW up with tons of people, I'm afraid the Gila's day's are numbered.
