• HIKE: Sandia Foothills (Embudo Trail)

  • When
    Thursday, February 26, 2026
  •  
    10:30 AM - 1:30 PM
  • Location
    13917 Indian School Rd, NE, Albuquerque, NM

  We'll be back in the Foothills for this end-of-the-month hike. We'll meet on the Embudo Trailhead, which is at the end of India School Road. We'll park in the lower lot at the west end. Just look for my red Nissan truck. This hike is a bit longer than I normally schedule, with some elevation gain and rocks to scramble up. It sounds worse than it actually is. I do recommend that you wear good hiking shoes/boots and have a walking pole. There is a really strange rock formation just off the trail, so we'll make a detour to visit it.

  If anyone has any questions or concerns, just give me a call at 505 459-5361.

  Codenames is a fun 2-team word game that's a bit like Password but much more interesting and enjoyable for both the game itself as well as socializing with teammates. Years ago I used to play the table-top version but playing online is much better!
  You can play using your computer or your phone.

  Time: 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm MT

  (Optional) Register in Meetup:

   https://www.meetup.com/group-hsnm/events/

  (Computer steps: Tap "Log in" at top right, log in, scroll down to "Events" list, find the "Codenames Online" you plan to attend, tap on it, then tap Attend Online.)

  Players that are new to Codenames are very welcome.
  You can take a look at it here: codenames.game
  But it's much easier to learn by doing and we're happy to teach.

  We have 5 committed Codenamers already. The minimum to play is 4 (2 per team). So we'd like more players! This event is simply opening it up to all you humanists. We hope to reach at least 3 per team (total of 6).

  Start here: 

  We use Google Meet to communicate while we're playing.

  Here is the link: https://meet.google.com/izo-rfpw-cwq

  If you're new to Google Meet, I recommend spending about 10 minutes ahead of start time to prepare and test your microphone and speakers. Video isn't needed.

  If you're on my invitation email list:

  You'll receive an email with two links sometime in the afternoon of the event. One is the link to the Google Meet meeting which never changes. The other is the link to the game itself which changes every week.

  Those not receiving my email reminders:

  It's easy to join us and you're totally welcome!

  Just join the Google Meet meeting using this link:

  https://meet.google.com/izo-rfpw-cwq

  Then, at game-time, I'll provide the link for the game itself. Easy!

  To be added to the email invitation list:

  Send a request to my email address: gstelle@gmail.com

  Fun addition: Add your own words!

  Once you see how the game works you're welcome to tell me words you'd like to see appear in the grid. I've been doing this already. That's how words like "SWAMP COOLER" and "HUMANIST" got there!

• HIKE: CERRO DE LOS LUNAS PETROGLYPH LOOP

  • When
    Friday, February 27, 2026
  •  
    10:00 AM
  • Location
    2100 Carlisle Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87110

  Register

  *Please carefully read the entire posting before signing up.*

  Cerro de Los Lunas Volcano is a group of eruption sites of differing ages ranging from 3.5 to 1.2 million years. Most likely related to the smaller Tome Hill to the east, the most recent eruptions forming a natural half-cone as the north summit. The lavas are dark and known to geologists as basaltic andesites.

  HIKING ADVENTURE: Recommended for those used to longer desert hikes and steeper slopes. Our outing will explore the cones assemblage at its north end. The City of Los Lunas has made this a park and preserve with about 10 miles of trails. We’ll explore about 4 miles and about 800 feet of gain on the system. The terrain is open, no shade. Panoramic views of the nearby Rio Grande Valley will be available in all directions. We will also look for petroglyphs along one section of the hike.

  

  MEETING PLACE: Whole Foods Market, Carlisle and Indian School, look for my red Nissan Frontier pickup in the outer part of the parking lot towards Carlisle. Carpoolers may consider a donation for the driver. $10 is suggested for the 70-mile trip.

  Please keep cell phones silenced during our hike.

  NOTE: Hiking involves risks. You need to be sufficiently fit and properly equipped with poles, hiking boots, sun-protective clothing, water, nutrition and sunscreen. You are responsible for your own safety.

  CANCEL: The promise of rain or adverse weather and road conditions will cancel this event.

  IMPORTANT: If you sign up, please remember that the leader has you on a list and you have a responsibility to keep him informed of your plans so as not to cause delays and confusion on the day of the hike if you don’t join us at the meeting place. This can be done by text or call to his phone or comments on the Meetup posting.

• HUMANIST SPEAKER SERIES: Jay Rogers

  • When
    Saturday, February 28, 2026
  •  
    10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
  • Location
    Albuquerque Museum

  FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC: 

  This month, member Jay Rogers takes the mic to explore humanist philosophy. “We talk a lot about what humanism is,” says Jay. “But too often it gets defined through the scope of atheism, or as a counterweight to religion. We rarely discuss the broader effects of humanism in practice, or the motivation to practice it as a philosophy.”

  Jay will explain how humanism has positively affected his life and how his practice of humanism has positively affected others.

  Raised in Indiana, the son of an evangelical minister and a schoolteacher/librarian, Jay was on track to follow his father to the pulpit. Then he read the Bible and became an atheist. He now identifies primarily as a Humanist. Jay is a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Army, father, husband and friend to anyone who wants to be. Jay values kindness and curiosity as the highest virtues in life.

  Will be livestreamed here at 10:40 a.m.

  For more information, email Paul@humanistsnm.org.
