A Great Hike - Project Completed

living.boondockingmexico@yahoo.com

We finally had a free day on Sunday.  The worker comes late but always shows up and works his butt off.  Saturday, he said he would arrive on Monday to finish up and be here by 8:30.   Well, he showed up after 10:30.  In the north, guys like to make money, and when they say 8:30, they are there.  They may have tacos firs,t but they always show up on time.  Anyway, some odds and ends tomorr,ow and we can say mission completed.

Here are a few pics of before and after.  We still need a perg,ola and we have some solar guys coming for an estimate for the solar roof.  BTW, I went to the CFE (electric company) and filed a claim for the refrigerator.  I still need some docum,entslet's lets see how that goes.  

I was checking on a site cAllTrailsTrails.  It has maps and "directions".  I've used it before but end up complefrustratedrated.  It's good for getting an idea about what is ,around but that's about it.  In other words, it's a starting point.  I found a hike in Alcocer, a small town about 10 km from our house.  It's behind the telesecundaria.  What is a telesecundaria?  It is a small school in a rural area where classes are transmittsatellite,atelite and instead of a teacher, a local person or a student teacher acts as a tutor.

We found it via Google Maps and parked on the side of the school.  It's rated as a moderate hike, but we found it to be a bit more difficul,t at least in the initial climb.  Wcompareded the first part with Cerro de la Silla in Monterre,y which we have climbed three times.  

This is a stock photo of Cerro de la Silla.

We started off and up.  A steep climb considering we are already at 6200 feet.  It takes some good lungs to do it.  It was early morni,ng and the air was crisp and the skies clear and clean.
