Location: Taos, New Mexico

So I'm back in Taos after the usual long goodbye. The drive down here was difficult as I slipped back into my loneliness. It's much colder down here then in Denver which is a big surprise, and I'm glad I took Jeff's advice not to shave Moses. Spring has NOT arrived... yet.

On the way down I stopped a few times to film some steel mills and an old abandoned building. I actually got kicked off the steel mills private property by some truckers. That's what happens when you wander off the beaten track. I didn't see any signs and Moses provided a good cover. When they approached I told them I was just looking for a place to walk my dog. I captured some footage of the mill in any case from a little further away. It was a beautiful drive down through the San Luis Valley and Veronica seems to be running smooth as ever.

This morning I awoke and took Moses for a hike up a mountain.. a good sweat process for us both. He seems happy to be back out on the road although he also seems to be missing Denver. For me the hiking is great as a detox process after the holidays. It's nice to get the body back online, although Liz and I kept pretty active throughout the holidays so I'm not in too rough of shape.

The transition process is always weird for me, but for the most part I feel good. I'm waiting in Taos for the delivery of a tripod part from California then I'll be back on my way. I'm keeping busy touching base with interviews (who all seem to be out of town until Monday), organizing the van, and blogging. It always takes a few days to regain my stride.

I'm off now to buy some yogurt for my morning granola, make some phone calls, and walk Mojangles.

peace,
d
