Goodbye, Texas, and hello The Land of Enchantment!! AKA New Mexico!
Amazing to have crossed such a HUGE state. We rode into Texas January 3rd. How long do you have to be in a state before you LIVE there? I think we pretty much can say we were Texans for a stint.
Our ride today came after a hefty breakfast of chili, chips, half a gallon of milk, salsa, and fruit. Good thing we stocked up because today we rode around 75 miles!
Many thanks to our new friend, Sanddango who greeted us in El Paso yesterday and tipped us off on a good spot to camp near Las Cruces.
Ryan made a Walmart run for essentials before we ate another hefty meal and are now crashing for the night. We are tired. We are full. Hello New Mexico, goodnight long day!
Total around 75 miles!
Route info for interested readers:
Highway 62 to a right on 375. From there an exit onto side streets that got us to Martin Luther King which we rode along for WAY too long after missing our turn onto 404. Backtrack and from 404 to the service road next to Interstate 10.
There and Back Again
