(I also appear to be up too late...)
Drove from Taos Ski Valley to Amarillo today, via Arroyo Hondo, Questa, Red River, Eagle Nest, Cimarron, Raton, Capulin and Texline, NM, then on down through Dalhart, Hartley, Channing and Boys Ranch, TX. Stopping at a light in Amarillo, I realized it was the first light I'd stopped for in nine hours of driving. Took photos of flowers, landscape, trains,
the Dawson Cemetery, a ruined roadside stop near the Dawson cut-off, a ruined mercantile (maybe) in Elizabethtown, the Capulin volcano, and a whole lot of other stuff. Photos to come here once I get caught up.
Flying home to Portland tomorrow. I should be back on lj as usual Tuesday. If I've missed anything important, let me know in comments here, please.
And yes, Rio Hondo was brilliant.
