I do mostly wheel landings but that's because of the stiff

Do they have Mud Season in NM?


I'll bite!

There generally is a summertime "monsoon season" throughout the Rocky Mountain
region. I'm reliably informed by Moriarty locals that the powdery reddish
stuff commonly blown about there and often entrained in dust devils isn't
"dust" but "enchantment." When enchantment gets wet, I doubt the locals call
it "mud" but have a far more positive euphemism!
