<!*We'll be bussing folks back from SFI on Friday after our BBQ and can drop at some location in town -JP*!>

- Hey JP, any recommendation for good hangouts? I know folks have gone to Second Street but I've heard margaritas at the Shed are good (that's more of a restaurant, though, IIRC). - Ellen

Second Street, Draft Station, Thunderbird, Secreto are all pretty cool hangouts. There's also the Violet Crown movie theater with a *huge* beer selection and nice open space down in the Railyard. -JP

Margarita Trail!

Let's get our passport and tour the Margarita trail! Details here: http://santafe.org/Visiting_Santa_Fe/Self_Guided_Tours/Margarita_Trail/index.html

June 18, Taos!

JP wants to take a trip up to Taos & Ojo Caliente. Come see small mountain towns, interesting geology, and maybe a stop at Ojo Caliente Hot Springs on our return.

Current plan will be to meet up in the parking circle at St. John's at 10:00am on Saturday morning. We'll then head up through the High Road to Taos and see some nice old towns, then lunch in Taos, see the Rio Grande Gorge, go to art museums,. On the way back, if some people feel like it, we can stop at Ojo Caliente Hot Springs.

June 24 @ 5:00pm - 1:00am Meow Wolf expedition: House of Eternal Return exposition and Concert at night: Nosaj Thing & Lucky Dragons

Apparently a mindblowing non-linear interactive exposition in the day and awesome concert at night, so we can do both in one go or you can join us for either ; )

You can check the info for the exposition here: https://meowwolf.com/about/visit/ and the concert here: https://meowwolf.com/event/currents-nosaj-thing-lucky-dragons/

Car volunteers welcome, otherwise we would just share and Uber, taxi or just take a lovely walk and watch the New Mexican nightsky (you know, just in case we suddenly find that there are double the stars in our view ;) Note: not free, expo is 18 and concert is 25, but I predict they are surely worth it!

June 25, 10:00am - Bandelier Field Trip

We're taking a trip to Bandelier National Monument on Saturday June 25th. Please visit the Bandelier Field Trip Page to sign up!

Jun 25 - Jun 26: Bisti Badland overnight trip

• Ruichen (Organizer): I have reserved one SUV for this overnight trip (seats 5, including driver).

Camping is an option, but I do not have any gear. And there is no designated campsite in the park (no water in the entire park/supplies.etc). I am thinking that maybe we can stay at Farmington, the closest town, and commute in and out the park. Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 drivers in such a multi-day road trip)

• Lula - I'm interested and am happy to drive.

July 1 Opera

The Santa Fe Opera season starts July 1 with Puccini's 1910 La Fanciulla del West -- a gold rush era drama set in the American West, called a "lyrical poem" by a Toscanini, and starring Minnie, a saloon owner who becomes the outlaw protagonists's love interest.

Seems like the perfect opera to see while we are in Santa Fe! It's common at the Santa Fe Opera to tailgate first -- which we can do with a quick trip to Whole Foods on our way.

If you're interested in going, sign up here. In a day or two we'll work on getting tickets together. Ticket prices seem to range from about $37 to over $300.

July 2 - July 4: Carlsbad Cavern and Whitesand National Monument trip

• Organizer: Ruichen: I have reserved a SUV from Enterprise for this trip (5 seats including driver). Cost will be split among everyone who participates:-) I have a California driver's license. I would like to stay at Airbnb or hostel/affordable hotel for both nights, since it is fairly close to the US/Mexico border and may not be safe to wander in the wild at night..

Tentative itinerary (can be changed):

• July 2

Leave St John's around 9:30am, head to Carlsbad Cavern National Park (takes about 5-6 hours), and visit the park till it closes. Stay at a hotel in the city of Carlsbad (one room, 2 queen beds, for 4 persons + add another movable bed -- let me know if this is okay. Only one Airbnb available in the area, and it is the same setup as hotel with 2 queen beds).

• July 3

Visit Carlsbad NP again (in the morning), head to White Sand National Monument after lunch. Visit White Sand NM till dinner time. Stay at Las Cruces (one hotel seems to have suites suitable for maximum 6 guests (2 bedrooms), at ~$150 total, still 2-3 beds though).

• July 4

Maybe visit White Sand NM once more and head back. Can stop by Albuquerque/Santa Fe downtown if there are festivals for the holiday.

Please sign up below. If you can drive, that would be a plus! (Ideally, it would be good to have at least 2-3 persons who can drive in such a multi-day road trip)

• Nicole: I can drive but would prefer not to
• Ryan (I have license and insurance)
• Devrim-I will be driving too, and can drive some people. I may consider leaving on Friday and stay for two nights, depending on the research schedule.
• Ben. I don't have drivers' license.
• Cheng Jin. I have Chinese driver's license and I can be a bench driver.
