Bullock's Oriole, Caballo Lake State Park, Caballo NM, May 1, 2012
That's it, I'm outa here.
My three weeks is up here at Caballo Lake State Park and I have to move on. I'm only allowed three weeks at a time in a given park.
May is marching on and it's time to head east if I want to get back to Red Rock and off the road before Memorial Day so I might as well head out. Of course I'm headed north a bit first (can you feel my eastbound feet dragging?)to get my periodic fix at the Apple store in Albuquerque before actually turning east.

The Speed of Darkness
Many scientists revere and study the speed of light, but what is the speed of darkness? What is the speed of the unseen? Darkness is already everywhere at once, and light is but a momentary interruption.
