Tucumcari, New Mexico

We left Holbrook Arizona this morning at about 7 AM and travelled 410 miles east to Tucumcari, New Mexico. The trip was on I40 all the way. Once we got into New Mexico the terrain become quite scenic. We stopped at a Welcome Center and were greeted with free coffee. It was better coffee than many restaurants we have been to. Once we reached Albuquerque, the scenery changed to a lot of high dry grasslands. The wind also increased causing us to slow down. The dryness combined with the 25 to 35 mph winds has resulted in a high fire danger throughout this entire area .

Weare staying at a KOA for the night. The internet service here is poor (only 1X), but I can manage . I am using my Droid to write this blog entry .

We will be on our way early tomorrow hopefully ending up at Kerryville Oklahoma. We expect to be in Hollister Missouri on Friday . We will hole up there until the weather in Madison looks decent for our return .
