"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

You make me want to go backThere is a track on the web.
After Organ Needle, we had a choice of going back the next day to Organ Mt... but we went to the Dona Anas.
I drove by the Organ Mts in 1982, and vowed to climb Needle, which then had a reputation for a hard bushwhack. Now there is a use trail right up and over the one class 3 stretch... finally made it in 2015.
Sometimes you git the bar, sometimes the bar gits you.
You make me want to go back. Did I say that already? Well, it deserves to be repeated. From Willa Cather: "in New Mexico, he always awoke a young man."

Live in Cruces?If you moved to L.C., you could always join the local meet-up, Jornada Hiking, and wait for a posted hike to Organ Peak. There is a guy named Yubao who does that, the Needle, and a few other local peaks often, or did when I lived nearby 3 years ago.

Re: Live in Cruces?Las Cruces is actually not a bad place for retirement, but that is still 15 years away.
