So it *was* a very long day at work, but I got off a little early (around 5:30) and headed home to meet up with the family.  We loaded the kids in the car and headed over to the NE Heights in fairly short order--thankfully the traffic on Paseo was moving the whole way.  We got close to the area on Juan Tabo and turned into the parking lot of the small office building north of the arroyo/catch basin/dam that was obviously closest to the hash point on the aerial mapsOn driving in we found that there was a fence around the parking lot and lots of signs clearly stating that there was no trailhead parking.  Granted, it was a fairly small lot for the size of the building, and it was completely empty since it was after business hours, but we really didn't feel like disobeying the signs *or* hoisting the kids over the fenceWe turned out and went to the office building south of the arroyo to park over there (where there were neither prohibitive signs nor fences).  It really wasn't *that* much longer of a walk, and there was a road/path almost the entire way around.  We climbed the embankment and crossed the really cool looking dam in the dark, chilly evening.  I forgot to bring a proper flashlight, so once the road gave out and we were picking our way through the last couple of hundred feet to the hash, I was using my iPhone for a flashlight.  Yeeeah.  We finally made it there, took a few pictures, and headed back to the carFun times.

Location

In the parking lot of D&B Glass off Coors north of I-40 on the west side of Albuquerque.

Participants

Plans

I saw that the hash was pretty close again today, so I figured I'd see how the time went after work and maybe make it down there. Since it was right off of Coors and in a parking lot, I knew access wasn't going to be any issue at all.

Expedition

Another after work hash--headed home to collect the family and we made the short trip down to Coors above I-40. We found the parking lot no problem, but the boys were getting pretty tired. The three year old was out in the parking lot with me, looking for the red dot again on his own GPS. I took longer to wander around to the right spot than I really should have considering I knew exactly where it was from the aerial photos. I got to the spot, got my photos, and we headed for home. It didn't look like I was going to be joined by any fellow hashers anytime soon.
