With the threat of cold and rain approaching, we decided it was time to leave. We had been going to Colorado, but that was going to be cold, too. The last thing we wanted to see was snow.. Joe came up with the idea of New Mexico. Checking Weather.com, we saw suns for at least a week and 70's to 80's.
The top picture is the Western Kansas countryside-flat as far as you can see.For most of drive to Albuquerque, we had tracks running beside the road. Some of the trains were about 2 miles long, mostly double decker containers.
We spent the night in Dalhart, Tx because the weather was just nasty-cold, windy and rainy. When we left we drove by cattle pens, holding thousands of cattle. The aroma stayed with us for awhile.
After getting into New Mexico the terrain became more interesting but nobody seemed to live in the state til we got close to Albequerque. We drove down to the city but we're still a mile above sea level.
