We have been making up for lost
time, putting on quite a few miles lately the past couple of days.
After sitting around in Yuma for about a week, Wednesday’s drive across
most of Arizona was just a warm-up. On
Thursday we entered New Mexico and crossed the Continental Divide, so we are
back in the middle part of the country.
By the end of the day, we finally got to a river that had water in it:
the Rio Grande, where it comes south out of New Mexico toward El Paso before it
becomes an international border. We used
our membership in Harvest Hosts (see https://harvesthosts.com
) to spend the night at a winery near the state line and also near the river.
Yesterday was a little longer
day, ending in Ft Davis Texas after a quick detour through Pecos (not quite on
the way). Pecos didn’t have what we
wanted for an overnighter, so we came south into the Davis Mountains. The last 15 miles or so was especially
pleasant. This is the highest town in
the state, at over 5000 ft elevation, and has some interesting history. We plan to take today off and play at being
tourists again. We should have some
interesting photos and comments for tomorrow’s posting.
Great!
