9. I like to stuff the rest of the bag with soft things. This helps to pad the bike and keep things from rattling around. It also means I have fewer bags to carry. Be careful though, the bag is heavy enough with just the bike in it, so the more you put in the more you will have to hobble around with.
In case one's illiterate, here's a diorama to illustrate the name of the resort.
Crazy?... LIKE A FOX

After the first chimney came the second chimney, then some loose off-camber stuff with a really long fall below it, then a couple more exposed climbs then a last scramble to the top. We made it, and agreed that this would only need to be done once. Getting down was going to be fun - maybe we could call for helicopter pickup from the top?
This is just one small slice of the 360° view from up on top.

Cabezon Peak is a volcanic plug in New Mexico's Rio Puerco Valley northeast of Albuquerque.
It's a local landmark, if you can see El Cabezon, you know pretty much where you are.
Taller than Devil's Tower (2,020 feet above the Rio Puerco, DT tops out at 1,267 feet above the Belle Fourche) and higher (7785 feet, Devil'sTower is "only" 5110 feet) , it's a 2½ mile round trip hike estimated to take 4 to 6 hours.
Last Saturday, we went for it.
This stuff is growing all over my lawn. Does anyone know what it is? They have a pungent smell like chives and seem to prefer the moist and semi-shaded areas. The purple flowers growing with them are violets.
