| Day Eight |
| We took off this morning the temperature still fair
The sun on our backs - the wind in our hair We rolled down Route 30 then 20 then 10 Detoured through the mountains and caught 10 again West Texas was full of oil fields and flat No pictures worth taking - we didn�t like that We stopped for lunch and had great Mexican food Then off to the mountains in quite a good mood The air began to get heavy but our spirits stayed light The scenery was breath taking and all else was right We took lots of pictures the rest of the way We parked in Las Cruces and ended our day |
| Day 8 � Saturday, June 25th
It�s the end of week one and we�re setting up camp tonight in the Land of Enchantment. We�ve made it all the way to Las Cruces, New Mexico. I didn�t think we�d be this far so soon. It�s probably a good thing given the number of miles we still have to go and the number of stops we plan to make. Today was better than yesterday if you factor in weather and scenery. We clocked another 440 miles. Southwestern Texas has a much better view than west Texas did. |
