Interesting mountain and also the road sign. We ended up staying the night at Truth or Consequences, NM. The campground was 5 miles from I-25, way back in the desert. Very quiet campground. I didn't have any bars on my phone, figured okay no phone calls tonight. To my surprise a call came in from Peggy (Bob's niece) and yes even with no bars I could make another phone call. The computer also worked off and on.

You know we didn't use to have these modern conveniences, but now if you don't have them you seem cut off from the world. LOL Bob doesn't.

At this point we are heading north on I-25. We took I-10 to Las Cruces, NM and headed north to Albuquerque, NM. We have never made this trip on I-25. There was some really pretty mountains. Bob say "little red" doesn't like the mountains. But the truck does fine. (why Sheri name his truck little red, I don't know).

This is the Rio Grande. Yes, we are wondering why there isn't water in this river. Of course we all heard of the drought out west. You will see later in the pictures of water in the Rio Grande.

The continental Divide. This is before we got to Las Cruces, NM

We took I-10 into New Mexico and snow on the mountains in the distance.

In the same mountain area.

This is when we were leaving Arizona on route I-10. Huge rocks make up these mountains. Very interesting, it make you wondered how they stay put and not just fall.

Thursday, March 22, 2012 -- We left Arizona this morning. Arrived at Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Yup that is the town name.

Bob's cousin, Chris Delf Stout called today letting us know that her husband, Bill had passed away. They are more than cousins, they are very good friends. We will miss Bill very much. He fought Colan Cancer for over 1-1/2 years. Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris.

I will have pictures of todays trip. Just too tired tonight to post them now.
