Okay. It hasn't been our best day. We pulled in to get gas just fine. When we pulled out there was a cement barrier that caught on the back, bottom door and bent it out. We managed to get free and pulled around back to assess the damage. We were able to remove the door and secure everything inside that compartment and be on our way. We will worry about getting the door fixed later (maybe in Dallas or even wait till we get home).
The mountains changed so much in a few miles and we saw all these "almost" caves! The rock was almost white which was such a change from the reds and yellows we have seen lately. It was beautiful and I began to get excited about being back in New Mexico! It's been years since I was here and I am anxious to see some of our old haunts.
Oh, shoot. I see that I reversed the pictures but I don't want to take the time to fix that. See below where we successfully entered New Mexico. The sign was different than I was expecting but still nice. When we came to the welcome center it was closed! No NM information or welcome from a nice worker to welcome us back to our old stomping grounds! Oh well. We stopped in Gallup and will go into Albuquerque early tomorrow. It will still be good to see it again.
Interesting day. Everything is fine and LIFE IS GOOD!
Oops! I deleted the New Mexico sign. I won't fix that either. It's been a long day and I am going to sit still until time for bed and let tomorrow be a better day.
Well, I've got to say, I'm sorry that you guys had a bit of a "door bender" but I am very impressed that this is the first one! I've told Wyatt that I wouldn't have made it out of your driveway without hitting something! By my account you are doing great! Keep your chin up!
