Beautiful blue sky day in Las Vegas. Our first SAG was on the side of the road at a dilapidated gas station, which was the “coin toss” scene from No Country for Old Men. We had a wonderful downhill ride through the Canadian Escarpment, which is a landform between the southernmost tip of the Rockies to the High Plains-it was breath taking and a really fun downhill.
Once we descended from the Escarpment @ 6,300 ft to the Plains @ 4,000 ft, it was all cattle farms, although we didn’t see much cattle. We arrived in Tucumcari, population 5,140 and very hot (92 degrees). It’s basically a stop over place for tourists/travelers. This is our last night in New Mexico, which is the 5th largest State in land mass, but the 35th in population. Tomorrow, we cross over to Texas!
