Well I have been driving all day and have made it into Albuquerque, NM. The drive so far has been safe and sound. I did have a fall in the shower this morning, resulting in a 4 in. by 2 in. bruise below my left knee (not the best for driving a stick shift). I also was attacked by a tumbleweed shortly after crossing the New Mexico state line. It was big and scary and coming at me from the left.
Sadly, I did not have a decent internet connection last night, so I was not able to pull up my list of roadside attractions I wanted to visit. *sigh* I was able to see the “2nd Largest Cross in the Western Hemisphere” from my car (it stands about 190 feet tall). I am not much for grandiose religious symbols, so I did not get off the interstate. Tomorrow I will hit the Petrified Forest in Arizona. And maybe some fake dinosaurs. It is a shorter driving day tomorrow, so I can take the 1+ hour detour to see some dead trees. Yippee! Until then, enjoy the “2nd Largest Cross in the Western Hemisphere”.
