Some good trails listed there. I have done the window, santa elena, lost mine, Ernst tinaja and a few others. All are good hikes. We are looking at hiking Emory peak this spring.

So it was 94* with 100% humidity last week camping and we were in thick woods so it would never cook off from the sun. My buddy had one of these that ended up being priceless. He ran it for 4 days on the same battery. https://www.amazon.com/Ryobi-P3320-Adjustable-Extension-Included/dp/B00JYJUM8I

I'm going to bring a fleece blanket to put down in the hammock. Temps will probably be in the low 50s.if temps drop below 70* I find I need something more than nothing in my hammock. I typically bring a fleece with a sewn together foot box because I don't like my feet getting cold. Sorta like a snuggie, but gayer

Thats pretty cool temps. You may want to being a sleeping bag just in case. I run warm, but I'd definitely bring my 50* top quilt with me in those temps. My ass got cold a few weeks ago and it was upper 50's or upper 40's - I can't remember. Once that wind picks up my hammock breathes so well it's like someone turned on the ac

Sleeping bag for sure! I have a new Kelty bag I need to try out. I think it's a 40 degree bag so it will be right at the limit with the expected temps.

+ that hammocks going to squish the insulation down.
if you get into hammock camping check out underquilts that hang. You can make one out of a sleeping bag as well. Arrow Gear, Hammock Gear, Warbonnet, Dutchgear are all reputable brands. They all sell pretty cool stuff and most of it's USA made.

I reserved a campsite in New Mexico a little over a week. $10 plus $4 from reserve america.
Well a friend is going to go with me so the plan now is to drive straight and trade off.
I go to cancel my reservation. $10.60 is non refundable and there is a $5 cancellation fee. WTF???? It will cost me more to cancel?? FU Reserve America

Complain to NM HQ. I hated Reserve America. Total sham IMHO. We started using it for NJ State Forest a few years ago. Keep complaining like we did and maybe you'll get lucky and they will change. This year we went back to a state run system like we had before. Sadly once NJ found out residents would pay some of the "extra" BS Reserve America fees - they transferred over to the state site.
