Another dry day driving – but temperatures definitely shifting to the cooler as we go up in elevation. Snow in Flagstaff AZ yesterday – we go through there tomorrow, hopefully it will have warmed some…

Today’s drive cut across New Mexico, starting and ending with fantastic southwestern fare – green chile sauce for me, red for K, on eggs and then enchiladas. In between we saw more neon and motels (again, not all live), some expansive vistas, trains, some history, a Madonna (NTM),  downtown areas worth visiting again, a well-known river, the continental divide, and hit another microbrewery. We end the day in the Rosalind Russell room at the famous El Rancho hotel, temporary home for many stars during the 40s and 50s when filming in the area.

New Mexico towns/cities today: Tucumcari, Montoya, Cuervo, Santa Rosa, San Jose, Pecos, Santa Fe, Abuquerque, Los Lunas, Correo, Laguna, Budville, McCarty’s, Grants, Prewitt, Thoreau, Gallup.
