With a red flag wind warning starting tomorrow afternoon, it looks like I'll be staying home for the most part. I am thinking about going into Gallup in the morning to pick up a few things at the market.

Winds around here get pretty gusty at times and tomorrow's can get up to 45 mph.

The drive today in Six Mile Canyon to McGaffey was an enjoyable ride. I'll likely do more of those drives in the days ahead.
