Watch out for those cholla cactus, they'll actually chase you down.

Steve,
I take it you have personal intel.......I’m still thinking of another trip this year.

Pete,
I sigh as I think of the 5 year old arguments I deal with, on the other hand you’re right!

Brings back memories from when my daughter was young and we used to go flying in my old Cherokee 140. Precious moments well spent!
Best regards,

Mike,
You seem way more experienced it’s snow than me! Much less sharing the experience with the kiddos.

Steve,
Affirm on the above. I’m still trying to savor the extreme positives we’ve been experiencing with her health while tucking the future unknowns into the shadows. We’ll deal with it if and when.
Pie is defenitely more of a passenger than co-pilot. I do believe my lil’ man has surpassed Pie’s co-pilot ability when he turned 2, we just seem to get each other and airplanes a little bit better....

What an awesome trip. And I also hadn't seen this story until now - very special!
Angel Fire is one of my favorite places, haven't been there in a while (and the airport can be very tricky a lot of the year). It's a beautiful place. I grew up near there and miss it.
