The Sandia Mountains

Surrounding New Mexico’s largest city are some of the most majestic and awe-inspiring mountains in the Southwest. The Sandia Mountain range stretches only 17 miles. Its highest point, Sandia Crest, is just over 10,000 feet high. This point is two miles above sea level but only one mile above the city of Albuquerque.

The word sandia means “watermelon” in Spanish. The range received its name because of the deep reds, maroons, and pinks that make up its granite and limestone faces. These colors are especially striking at sunset. The westward face of the range is characterized by its rugged, sheer cliffs and large, rocky outgrowths. The eastward face slopes gradually and is covered in the green of pine and juniper trees.

The Sandia Mountains have many different attractions that draw tourists each year. One of these is the “Sandia Man” cave, first discovered and excavated in the 1930s. During its excavation, human tools and clothing were found, as well as the remains of a prehistoric mastodon. Evidence at the cave site dates human usage between nine and eleven thousand years ago, making this one of the oldest human habitats in North America.

Another attraction is the Sandia Peak Tramway. This tram system has two tram cars that run every 15 to 30 minutes. One car ascends the mountain, taking passengers to the top where they disembark. The other descends the mountain, bringing them back down. First opened in 1966, the cars hold a maximum of 55 passengers. During construction of the tram, thousands of helicopter flights lifted cables, workers, and materials to build the two towers to the mountaintop.

The total length of the tram system extends nearly three miles. The span that extends from the second tower to the peak is the third longest clear span in the world. A clear span is a "length of cable between supporting towers." The cars travel at a speed of 12 miles per hour and provide passengers with an unimpeded view of the city of Albuquerque, the Rio Grande, and even three extinct volcanoes.

Tram passengers are also able to see a wide variety of birds and animals native to the mountain’s ecosystem. As a passenger on the Sandia Peak Tramway, you might see golden eagles, Steller’s jays, ravens, and canyon wrens. You may also glimpse a few land animals like mule deer, black bears, and bobcats.

1
“Look awake, will you please? This is Miss Deirdre Willis. She’s just moved here from Maryland. I know you’ll all welcome her.” I stood at the front of my first-period class with Mr. McCurdy, the seventh-grade English teacher . . .
2
I noticed that the kids in my class were checking me out like nobody’s business. At first, I thought they were only gawking at my camera, but their eyes moved from my hair to my sweater, down to my shoes, then back and forth at each other.
3
I shrugged and swallowed and didn’t look at any of them, my heart still pounding like bongos in a band.
4
“Miss Willis, there’s your seat, over there. Take it, won’t you please.” Mr. McCurdy pointed to an empty desk toward the front of the room. I sat down, cradling my camera in my lap. I carefully looked right, then left.
5
Mr. McCurdy rubbed his hands together. “Now listen up. Today we’re starting our unit on great American poets. Who can name some?”
6
The other kids were slow to answer, so I raised my hand. When Mr. McCurdy called on me, I cleared my throat. That lump was still resting there from before. “Langston Hughes,” I said softly.
7
“Hughes. L-a-n-g-s-t-o-n H-u-g-h-e-s.” Mr. McCurdy wrote the poet’s name on the blackboard.
8
“Langston who?” asked a red-haired girl sitting next to me.
9
I thought everybody knew who Langston Hughes was. I sucked my teeth silently and folded my arms. Then I glanced around to get a better look at the red-haired girl.
10
“Hughes. A fine poet. One of our best,” Mr. McCurdy was saying. “Miss Willis, stand up, please, and expand on Langston Hughes.” I pushed my glasses up on my nose and stood up.
11
“Well, sure,” I said, watching the red-haired girl out of the corner of my eye. “Langston Hughes was an African-American poet who got popular in the 1920s and 1930s. He wrote plays and essays too.” I spoke slowly and carefully. My fidgety heart started to beat regularly again.
12
“And Langston Hughes helped shape what is known as the Harlem Renaissance,”1 Mr. McCurdy explained.
13
“He spent a year in Mexico with his father after he was done with high school,” I added.
14
“Born in Joplin, Missouri,” Mr. McCurdy said.
15
“His poem ‘The Weary Blues’ won him a prize.” Mr. McCurdy and I, we were on a roll.
16
“The Weary Blues turned out to be the title of Hughes’s first book of poems, published in 1926,” he said.
17
I’d never had a teacher go on with me like that. Mr. McCurdy knew a lot about Langston Hughes. He looked pleased that I knew almost as much as he did. In his broken-hinge voice, he said, “That’ll be all for now. Your seat, Miss Willis. You may take it.”
18
Everybody got quiet; I guess they were waiting for me to sit down. But I didn’t want to take my seat; I didn’t want to take any seat. I was just getting started. Those kids were still staring, still checking me out. I wanted to tell them more about Langston Hughes, and about the other African-American poets who are my favorites—like Gwendolyn Brooks and Nikki Giovanni.
19
The red-haired girl was paying attention, listening to me and Mr. McCurdy talk about Langston Hughes. I don’t think she knew what to make of me. When I caught her staring, her eyes turned away.
20
When the bell rang, I let out a breath and gathered my books. The other students huddled together in groups of twos and threes, leaving me alone in the classroom with Mr. McCurdy.
21
“You’ve got a fire for good poets, I can see that,” he said, clasping my hand with a two-handed handshake. I gently pulled my hand free and adjusted my knapsack.
22
Mr. McCurdy gestured toward my camera. “Maybe someday you’ll show us all how you use that thing,” he said.
23
As he left, the door brushed closed quietly behind him. I looked back at the empty classroom.

Read the excerpt from "Tools of the Spymaster."

The idea of invisible ink had been around for a long time. Write using lemon juice as ink, for instance, and the writing will be invisible. Heat the paper, and the writing will appear, looking as if it were written in brown ink. British agents used two types of ink. One could be made visible by holding the paper over the flame of a candle; the other could be read by applying a common chemical. Major John Andre, the chief British intelligence officer in New York, told his agents to put an F in the corner of letters containing invisible ink needing fire to read and A for those needing acid.
