Great blog! I found it through AZ Wanderings' post on the San Juan a while back. I also fly fish and mountain bike as my two primary hobbies, so I have enjoyed going back and reading your posts. I noticed you are located in Albuquerque- I too am located in Albuquerque, having recently relocated from Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I was in law school at UofM. Then I noticed you are also a Michigan alum! Small world.
Alright Anonymous- if you are who you say you are:
Ann Arbor: name A2's best breakfast joint. Wrong! Angelo's. UM: what QB is likely to start for our beloved wolverines this next season? Wrong! Speight- you can take that to the bank ;-) MI: what is the worst state evah? Wrong! TX remember you live in NM now. MI flyfishing: what is the greatest hatch? Wrong! May Hendricksons on the Au Sable. Cause I say so. MTB: your favorite trail network in NM? Wrong! Otero, it's everyone's fav. NM flyfishing: where is your favorite spot for cutties? No, srsly, you could send me a google earth link. ;-) NM: red or green? It's all good JP, welcome to NM my friend! Mike
Ann Arbor: I do like the corned beef hash at Angelo's but I think Café Zola is better! I know this is borderline heresy.
UM: I remember watching Devin Gardner's first pass in Michigan Stadium, at the spring game a couple of years back, and it was a really ugly interception. I'm not sure he ever recovered. Though I don't like to talk bad about him- he definitely showed grit at times. Regardless of whether it's Devin, Shane, or WIlton, I'm just glad to have Nussmeier.
MI- I don't think I've been here long enough to pick up on the dislike toward Texas. Unless you're talking about food (it certainly isn't a university rivalry!)-I have definitely heard people here disparaging Texas for its food.
MI flyfishing- Not going to argue with that, but I also had a lot of fun throwing streamers for smallmouth in the Huron!
MTB- I really need to get out to Otero. My wife recently picked up mountainbiking so we have been taking it slow in the foothills.
NM flyfishing- I have never caught a cutthroat! Though I've only been in the state for about 6-7 months now, so there is time. I have been up to the San Juan a few times and the Lower Red once, but that's about the extent of my western flyfishing experience. Looking forward to a lot more this spring/summer. Thinking about doing a half day on the Jemez this weekend.
NM- Green chile cheeseburger at Five Star Burgers (Taos or Albuquerque).
If I see someone with a Michigan hat on the trails/streams I will be sure to say hello!
