Chupadera Peak trail

The Friends of Bosque del Apache NWR bought 140 acres at the top of Chupadera Peak for the refuge a few years ago and there is a trail up to the peak I'd like to hike. It's nine or ten miles from the trailhead up to the top at 6272 feet and back. That ought to make a nice day hike.

Was Love Then

Was love then like a bag of assorted sweets passed around from which one might choose more than once? Some might sting the tongue, some invoke night perfume. Some had centers as bitter as gall, some blended honey and poison, some were quickly swallowed. And among the common bull's-eyes and peppermints a few rare ones; one or two with deadly needles at the heart, another that brought calm and gentle pleasure. Were his fingers closing on that one?
