To day was a great drive! and did I ever drive for 7&1/2 hrs. until I got to Las Cruces New Mexico a university town. When I checked in I discovered a time change and got another hour.

Oh Toos, the desert reminded my so much of the outback except that the roads here are wonderful!

Wow were there ever a lot of oil wells. Ok, all you folks of a certain remember James Dean and Giant well, I think I saw him wandering in the desert.
As I was passing Monahans Tx. and the desert started to be come boring it was then I spotted the Pecos mountain chain and what a refreshing change. Along side the highway ran the railway caring nothing but large containers and there was very little road kill. I did notice they really clean messes up fast.

Then along came another chain the Guadalupe mountains. Dear husband and I visited the other side of the Guadalupe mountains when we visited NM.and ventured to Carlsbad and the caves. That was 13yrs ago and I did have a little visit with him and a good cry which helped the dry eye since it is so dry here.

Well I hope you all enjoy the pix...

Till next time...stay well!
