Tuesday

Not sure what happened but the second half of my post didn't make it so this is a continuation of today's earlier one.

Now we are in Las Cruces, NM, It is one gigantic long strip mall. 

Back to coming out of the mountain this morning. We managed to bull#@%^ long enough with our host Kent and his son Cole that most of the snow had melted before we left. The roads were dry and fine and Bobe did a great job driving us out.

The road out from where we were camped.

More of the road out.

See that white patch way out there, that is White Sands National Monumont.  Up close it looks like a gigantic white sand box out in the middle of yellow grass desert.

All of the sudden the mountains were right there and we went through this little tunnel.

We are off to Gila, NM today for a couple of days riding there near Silver City then off to Tucson, AZ by Friday where we meet up with some Michigan friends.  Looking forward to shorts weather and taking these darned long johns off finally.
