On the Road

Las Vegas, New Mexico,  January 8, 2013

We've driven a solid two days to get to this point.  Last evening we stayed in Lusk, Wyo.  Tomorrow we travel on to Roswell, NM for a tour of the UFO museum and on to the Carlsbad Caverns Nat'l Park.  I always enjoy the drive along the front range of the Rocky Mts. past Fort Collins, Denver, Colorado Springs, etc.  This evening I watched out the window at the settling dusk with the mesa tops outlined against the sky.  Beautiful.  High winds, over 50 mph around the Cheyenne area (as usual) made for some poor fuel mileage with the bus, so much so that the fuel gauge was low, low.  The cities along the front range are growing together so that they'll be one continuous city before long.  A sign seen along the way: United we squabble, divided we wobble.
