Emptied our waste and filled up with water anticipating more parking lot overnighters. Back on 40 east.
Quick stop in Santa Rosa at the Route 66 car museum to make lunch. It didn't look that good so just took some pics of the older cars outside. NM has a pretty consistent look, gentle rolling hills, dry grass and lots, and lots, and lots of pinyon pines. Did not take a single picture of one. Fact: it is the state tree of NM.
Tom did the afternoon drive, crossed over in to Texas which looks totally unlike NM. Not a tree to be seen, and of course (as those who have spent a lot of time in Texas) the wind turbines!
