Day 1: Alamogordo, NM. Nick has an unhealthy obsession with Pistachio Land. After having the ice cream I kind of get it though.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Day 1: White Sands National Park was open despite the gov’t shutdown. There were a lot of people there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

El Capitan. From the road at base level, you wouldn’t guess that it looks like this from above.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Despite his unwavering pistachio psychoses, Nick is the kind of friend everyone should have. He hates doing stuff like this but goes along with it anyway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You were here:::El Capitan and Guadelupe Peak see in the first prominence, middle-middle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The older I get the more I believe in the healing power of cool stuff, like this uhhhh sick geode or whatever at The Crystal Gallery in El Paso. It cures you.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
