Las Cruces, NM-El Paso, TX Sunday 3/21 66.5 miles
Wow what a day! Cold start 27 degrees in Las Cruces but no hills and no wind. A lovely cruise through more pecan groves and NM farmland. Great road, no traffic, pretty scenery. Crossed the Rio Grande 3 or 4 times in the last 2 days- twice today. It took us 20+ miles to get through El Paso to end up on the east side of town. Traffic increased but apparently mild compared to a week day. At the end of the ride, 8 miles of freeway shoulder- getting used to that but those exit and entrance ramps get your attention. It warmed up enough to finally take leg warmers off- first bare legs since California I think.
No “Welcome to Texas” sign on our little road so thank you Barney and Sheri for providing one. Another celebratory margarita tonight for crossing another state- we won’t be having another one for a LONG time.
Sag Wonder Woman #1 (in no particular order) is Karen (aka Coop ), a retired Marin County Forest Ranger. She is always where she says she’ll be in the Sag Subaru aptly named Bo Beep.
KK, Every evening I look forward to reading the next chapter of this wonderful story, Kirby Rides America. The characters, their adventures, the pictures, the setting, and the brilliant author are extraordinary! Definitely, a best seller!
