We woke up on Saturday and Corbet made a feast of a breakfast, including deer sausage, bacon, and scrambled eggs. Good stuff.
Set us up nicely to go four-wheeling, which we attempted first in the canyons of Durango, only to be turned around by the snow still covering much of the canyons and north facing mountain sides.
We finally ended up in New Mexico, just north of Farmington. Corbet and JT took an inexperienced guy and ran me through the paces, showing me how to pick a line, drive the truck, and generally have a great time. Specific tips included that it's good to be in 4-lo when attempting to scale an 8 foot ledge, not tipping over, and others.
I made an album on Facebook, as there are too many pictures to post to the blog. Suffice it to say that the weather was amazing, about 80 degrees, with clear blue skies and some hazy clouds for character. Porter joined us and we all had a blast.

After the trip, we went back to Corbet's house, where Marianne made Buffalo meat sauce and spaghetti. Between the readily available game and Corbet and Marianne's cooking skills, I plan to surprise them with a visit again soon.
After dinner, I decided to take JT and Eve up on their invitation to spend the night in town. They have a great house right in a college-y neighborhood, and we hung out talking and drinking excellent beer for a few hours, before we decided to call it a night.
