So, I'm out here in New Mexico on the border of Texas to spend Christmas with my parents. For those of you that don't know me, I have a goal of hiking the high point in all fifty states. So being this close to the highest point in Texas, Guadalupe Peak, I had to climb it. I camped out at the trail head on tuesday night. My little tent barely held up to the 60 to 70 mph winds that were threatening to tear it to shreds. i had to put four big rocks in each corner to keep it from blowing all over the place. Xmas eve morning i start out at dawn and climbed the peak in about five hours. here are some pictures:
