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.

Shopping for sensation

The purest example of human shopping I know of can be seen by watching a child go through life touching absolutely everything. You’re watching that child shop for information, for understanding, for knowledge, for experience, for sensation. Especially for sensation, otherwise why would he have to touch or smell or taste or hear anything twice? Keep looking: Watch a dog. Watch a bird. Watch a bug. You might say the ant is searching for suitable food. I say he is shopping.
