    BJ Orozco, our long-time llama packer, is doing one more llama trip for us. I know that BJ has been slow to let go of his llama business, and we have been concerned that we were facing a last trip for 2-3 years now, but the sale of the llama business didn't go through, and BJ says he is unlkely renew his permits next year.

    We had a terrific hiking weekend around Hanksville, Utah in October 2025, but there is much left to explore. I have arranged to rent a “Red Rock Cave Home” in Hanksville, Utah (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/32183107), which will be our base for a week of day hiking in a part of Utah that I had hardly visited before last year. We have the house from Tuesday October 20 to Tuesday October 27, giving us 6 days for hiking.

    We have many times travelled to Bluff, Utah for a taste of the canyon country, and will do so once again this December. Bluff is less than six hours from Los Alamos and, situated along the San Juan River, at a low altitude best suited for trips late or early in the season. Even in early December the average daily high is around 50 F. There are numerous places to hike and explore from Bluff, including the ruins and big views of Comb Ridge, the canyons accessible from Cedar Mesa, the canyon rim just north of Bluff itself, and farther afield to places like White Canyon.
