Does Anyone know this Used to be A Hostil Accessible to Out of towners and Locals? Now it is only Accessible to the people that have the Money. On Average, it Costs $30 an hour to soak in the Hotsprings About the Locals Who Live on a fixed Income and I will do my best to discourage people who Visit and Support these places. I think it is Very discriminating And the prices set favor the rich. If that is not discriminating I don't know what is. Stay Away !!!!!
I hiked the La Luz Trail back 1991 just before I retired from the US Army. I was leaving along the cost in VA at the time, so I thought the altitude change would be my most major difficulty. As it turned it out because I had been in NM a week or so with a car trip to Santa Fe and Taos the altitude was not major problem. It was difficult for but lots of rest stops, a couple of apples and plenty of water made the trek possible (BTW I was 40 years old at the time). Our route was from the parking lot at the bottom of the Tram to the La Luz Trailhead and up to the Sandia Crest. We tock a short break then hiked to the Tram for a ride down to our vehicles. To make a long story short Good for you it might not mean much to people outside New Mexico, but you can always point to the Sandia Crest and say "I Climbed That"
Congrats on making it to the top, and thanks for sharing the experience! I grew up in Albuquerque but never did this hike. A year ago I decided to give it a shot and started training. Going up next week! I live in Houston now, so the elevation change will definitely have an impact.
It's actually called the windy city due to a tornado that blew through during construction when first started. Also that the people there are full of wind as in they speak shite
I grew up in Milwaukee but left for California in 1974 when I was 19 because there was nothing about living there that felt good. I was bullied as a child by the kids in my neighborhood and by my schoolmates. I was beaten to the point of broken bones and chipped teeth by my all too strict German parents "who did it so I would turn out right". I didn't like the narrow minded and racist attitudes that were pervasive in my extended German family and the wider community. The police used illegal wire taps and undercover agents to infiltrate and destroy organizations committed to ending the Vietnam war. My shared house of 8 UWM students was targeted by police although nobody living there was actually involved in anti war activities. Milwaukee was a cultural wasteland (unless you consider a sporting event a cultural event). Vegetarians were harassed. If I attended a social function I was left to eating mashed potatoes and succotash while being constantly advised to eat the meat. Winter was brutal. And, despite having a college education, job opportunities consisted of working in a factory for the rest of my life while spending my time with narrow minded racist people who seemed to know nothing of the world beyond Milwaukee. In my infrequent exchanges with the few family members I'm still in contact with, the narrow minded racist attitudes still unfortunately prevail 50 years later. The best decision I ever made was to leave Milwaukee, make a life for myself working in the arts, traveling, having open minded friends from diverse racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. It's been way more fulfilling than anything in Milwaukee ever offered. I'm eternally thankful I had the courage to pick up and leave.
What about sports and concert venues ? They wee building the Brewers a new Stadium when I was there. And I had a great time at the Summerfest music festival on the waterfront when I was there.
You know the winters are long & brutal. I'm born & raised in Milwaukee & seen some of the most epic winters ever. I'm talkin like Norway, Switzerland, or Russia savage winters.
Cool video! Did I hear you correct that you two had to walk back to your car from the Tram? La Luz trailhead is like 4 miles from there! I hope you got a ride! Glad you two liked Abq!
metro market has a great fish fry dinner check it out. and a top notch bakery. there baked cod is the bomb. the best in town. just my opinion, county clare has a great fish fry as well i would walk around all over my neighborhood talked to the cop on horseback. he is cool he patrolled my street the whole time i lived there. hello to d-1 also. great people. and last but not least our brady street fire dept crew. another great bunch of mfd firefighters , i did hear they closed shop i was sad to hear about that. when on brady street when i would walk over to walgreens and the record shop. exclusive company. just a huge amount of great memories over there.
Apologies for a personal question. Peru looks like the place to go. You look kind of gay. Is she your girlfriend? How is Peru with respect to LGBT people?
Have fun! We also found out they have a strawberry festival in June, which we will definitely be checking out. Any recommendations on some places to check out in Wisconsin?
