New Mexico Surprise

Yep, thats snow alright!

Mountains outside of Edgewood, New Mexico

I wasn’t expecting to see snow on this trip, but the good news is, at least it wasn’t falling. Kind of delightful, kind of concerning. I’d best leave earlier next year.

Now for some scenes from Clinton Oklahoma, where we started off Day Five.

Day Five took us out of Oklahoma, across the Texas panhandle, and into New Mexico. It was as exciting as ever to go over that magic hill and see the landscape change. Suddenly, you are “out west.” Amazing.

Welcome to New Mexico!

After filling up in Tucumcari, we stopped at our favorite rest area–Pajarito–and watched a train roll by.

Please enjoy this minute of peacefulness, and breathe….
Timi was not too interested in the points of interest.

From Pajarito, it was just a couple more hours of driving. Near the end of that haul is when I saw the snow, and not surprisingly, it was quite windy and cold when we arrived in Edgewood. Temps went down to freezing overnight. Glad I brought my down vest, hat and gloves.

Off to Flagstaff next, and thankfully, our last night on the road. But first, the prettiest day of the trip awaits. Onward! πŸ™πŸΌπŸŒ΅πŸ¦‰ OBC
