My heart felt a pang of sadness...
...when I crossed the line from New Mexico into Colorado. Is it the leaving one, or the entering the other? Both, I'm guessing. But when I move out of the Pacific NW which has been home for 31 years, I think it likely it will be to New Mexico. Gotta love a state with such an existential state of...

Finally, a hot spot...
Finally, three days later... Starbuck's in Las Cruces. The scenery has changed considerably since Colorado Springs, what with Carlsbad's amazing Caverns, and the noble buttes of Guadelupe (where I very nearly almost just barely didn't run out of gas about 40 miles from a station), and, this morning,...
