We went to Trampas Lakes in New Mexico. It was an extremely rough hike over 5 miles ALL UP HILL. We stayed two nights. The second day it hailed almost an inch deep and it didn't melt off. It made for a very cold night. We made some great memories even though the weather didn't cooperate.

Nice! My boy loves a good storm while we're outdoors.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
