REDEMPTION!!! New Mexico definitely saved this trip. We left the truck stop this afternoon from Santa Rosa New Mexico headed toward Albuquerque and then on to Arizona on I-40. New Mexico was just mile after mile after mile of beauty. I took 94 pictures in New Mexico alone. I won’t put that many here, but it will be a bunch because it was just so gorgeous. Red rocks, black rocks, white rocks, pink rocks, gray rocks……
Of course, it is dark now and we have been in Arizona for about 15 minutes. I should get a look at it tomorrow from a truck stop somewhere. Nothing noteworthy happened today. We just rode and rode and rode. I really hated to see it get dark because I was not done seeing. 
As we were leaving Santa Rosa, we could see rain bands behind us. This is the little mirror on Bigfoot's side of the truck looking backward. 
Pretty..........New Mexico

A little village at the foot of the mountains.
It's so much rock, but it all looks different.

See the church? It looked like it was carved into the rock face.

Awesome photos of New Mexico! I've always wanted to go there. So happy you were able to see all that beauty.

I ran thru the pics -- still don't need to sit too long, back is tight and sore. I am so envious of what you are seeing -- and amazed that such beauty is part of our country -- hard to imagine such different terrain is right here in the USA. Looking forward to more pics and your stories -- love you lots.
