Hey, you've been hanging around near NMSU, my alma mater.
I've hiked up Aguirre Springs and to the top of the Organs - gorgeous terrain.
That roadrunner used to be at the city dump. I guess they moved it - looks like to the west side of town.
Yeah, that's Picacho Peak behind the roadrunner, just west of town.
