As one who has crossed over the Alps and the Rockies, I thought I was immune to altitude sickness. However, New Mexico got the best of me in this visit. Being the solo driver/traveler, winding thousands of feet in the air, and simply being 15 years older made a believer out of me. This picture makes me remember the rules of being in the higher climes...drink lots of water! Eat sensibly. Next time I go somewhere similar, I will have lots of water and maybe those little oxygen canisters one can get from outdoor trekking type stores. You do NOT want to have to stop at a National Parks public bathroom on the by-ways...trust me :)
