Twice as cool
I supposed that in the middle of the summer those two evaporative coolers don’t even begin to take the edge off the heat. But maybe the sight of them will make people feel cooler…

Picnic
In the early 1980s, I had lunch in this park on a regular basis. I was working for an architect in downtown Albuquerque and my husband’s job, with a different architect, was further up toward the Heights. This was approximately in the middle. We’d bring leftovers, and maybe get a couple of cookies from the bakery that was across the street. There was also a small, independent bookstore with a nice section of children’s books. We liked looking at the books; I was pregnant at the time and like all first-time parents, we were just determined to do everything the Right Way.
The bakery and the bookstore are gone now, having at some point been replaced by a big CVS pharmacy.

Ahead, the goal
This fire lookout is at the very top of the mountain; the elevation is about 9,600 feet. The building dates to the 1940s, and is considered to be most unique lookout in the Southwest. It’s been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1988.

Mountain-top Toilet
Way up there, so high that it’s nearly in the clouds, is a toilet.
Just in case you wondered.

Drainage System
So, there I was on the grounds of a nice resort. And I was taking photos of downspouts and drains. That sounds about right, doesn’t it?
