Fantastic tribute, John! I often wondered about Max's life story and heard various rumors and tall tales so it was great to read your post. I didn't know how far back you and Max were friends. My last encounter with Max was noticing his worried expression as a packer packed his rig. Max would pack even in the hottest days but finally gave in to let another pack for him for his last few jumps. "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

Thanks for the warning Chuck! ;-p "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

Tomasitas is good, and there are plenty other places to chow down. Breakfast at the classic Pasqual's. Dinner at Pink Adobe and El Farol. Be sure to try both red chile and green chile stews. And REAL Sopapillas for dessert! The museums are world class! We like the Folk Art museum best. Summertime you can park at the ski area and hike up to the top of Sta Fe peak. You can hike up Wheeler Mtn by Taos, the highest peak in NM. One of the best drives in the USA is the 'back road to Taos' via Chimayo and Truchas. Rancho de Chimayo is another classic restaurant next to the must visit church Santuario de Chimayo. Be sure to visit a Pueblo during a Feast day and see authentic Rain and Corn dances and eat excellent home cooked foods. Anyone who bad mouths Northern NM hasn't gotten past the tourist gloss view. It's an area with centuries of culture and stories, and great outdoors. "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton

Be sure to hang out in Penang near the Thai border, its a very nice island with lots to do (beach, hiking, scooter rentals, good food). It was my favorite place in Malaysia. "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton
