When an man stands alone on a dusty New Mexican byway and finds himself staring down a vicious, charging road sign; there’s only one thing he can do to defend him self. He’s gotta take a deep breath, aim his weapon, and keep squeezing that trigger until it goes “click”

“It was you or him Cowboy. You did what you had to do.”

Memorial Day Weekend took me on a road trip to the 4 corners area of the southwest. A friend of mine has a small shack out in the weeds of New Mexico. It’s a perfect local for camping, hiking, and general relaxation. As the Chinese proverb goes, “The journey is the reward”. The trip there and back included Chaco Canyon National Park, The Hover Dam, Monument Valley, The Grand Canyon, and Route 66. Good Times.
