It looks like I'll be heading back to southern New Mexico in May for another NMMC trip. They got permission to climb another peak inside of White Sands Missile Range and I had a lot of fun there last year.

Not in Florida.

On the way (sort of), I'm going to meet up with fellow highpointer Ken Jones and we're going to ascend Florida Peak, the highpoint of the Florida mountains (a bizzare oxymoron, I know) near Deming, NM. It is a very prominent desert peak with a great semi-technical summit push. It also has a second summit about a quarter mile off which is only about a foot shorter and offers the fantastic photo opportunity seen above.
