Location

In the sagebrush near a small arroyo just outside the Northern Meadows subdivision on the west side of Rio Rancho.

Participants

Redaragorn and 3 yr old son

Plans

I was planning to head north for some hiking (and probable geohashing) today, but when I saw that the local one was a moderately easy one to reach, I decided that I might as well go for the double hash.

Expedition

Drove west on Southern to the very end of the mesa, then headed south a short distance. Poof, we're there. It was an awfully chilly and windy morning, so we're glad we brought our jackets along. The wind was blowing the sand into everything, which wasn't terribly pleasant. We wandered the couple hundred feet to the hash and got our pictures, then climbed the small hill to the top of the mesa and enjoyed the views down into the Rio Puerco valley beyond before heading on our way.

Guess it's not really a drag-along anymore since this is his third one now.
