So we're in Tucumcari, NM. It is cold, windy, and rainy. Luckily that got going as we were stopping for the day. Rain in the desert smells amazing, though.

Congratulations for getting past TX!! That *is* a long day you put in. A lot of miles. I'm seriously impressed. I hope the rest of your travels go by quickly and safely. xo
