We were awake early again and on the road by 7:30 a.m.
We headed south on I-27 a short way and then headed west on Hwy 60 to Clovis, NM and then south west on Hwy 70 past Roswell, NM, through Ruidoso, NM and Alamagordo, NM, past the White Sands National Monument and Missile Base to Las Cruses, NM and then west on I-10.
The weather was beautiful the whole day. It got very warm, up to about 83F at one point! There was a tiny bit of snow on the northern hill sides just south of Ruidoso in the Mescalaro Apache Reserve but then we were at about the 7,000 foot mark through there!
We continued on through New Mexico and crossed into Arizona at about 5:00 p.m. and finally stopped for the day at a truck stop in San Simon, AZ at 5:45. We had left overs from our dinner at the Big Texan and tried to find a TV channel to watch. We managed to find 3 channels - 2 Mexican and 1 religion so we put in a DVD and settled down to watch the movie. We stayed up as late as we could but as soon as the movie was over, we were into bed. It was only 8:30 mountain time!!!
It was so warm, we slept with the bedroom windows open! That was great until the middle of the night when several trains went by!!
We travelled 556.5 miles today - 2,296.7 miles to date.
