The Albuquerque Express

Today we covered a ton of miles, saw the Contenintal Divide and made
it into New Mexico all from the back seat of an RV! Thanks to our new
found friends, Bob and Carol, we hitched a ride through the gaps of
Arizona and look towards Albuquerque.

The change in scenary from Arizona to New Mexico is amazing. Arizona
was very flat and you could see the same mountain range for days
before you'd reach it. Also, the wind couldn't pick a direction. The
bushes next to you would lean east while the wind would lean on your
face the whole ride.

Covered in lava rock, petrified wood, green highways, and cascaded
moutain ranges, New Mexico's terrain changes dynamically from Arizona.
We've pulled into an RV lot next to an Indian casino where we are
pitching our tents out of the 20 mph winds. Tomorrow, we'll be dropped
off in Albuquerque, our next big city.
