As soon as I made the call to bail on the Crestones last weekend, we had absolutely flawless weather for almost a whole week, until today. Today there is a pervasive cloud ceiling at about 8,500'. It just so happens that today Weeds is driving up from Las Cruces and we're going on a long-weekend highpointing extravaganza in Colorado. He is one of the people I'm hoping to go to Mexico with this winter and is a fellow highpointer. He was one of the first people to reach the highest point in every county in Ohio, which is perhaps a somewhat dubious distinction outside of the county highpointing community, so I'll also mention that he's climbed Aconcagua (22,841') in Argentina. As such, I don't care if there is bad weather for this weekend's adventures.
The list of highpoints includes some lowlands junk but also includes Little Costilla Peak (12,584), NM, and West Spanish Peak (13,626'), CO, which are both serious climbs, especially if there is snow.
