We had a relatively quiet night at a Wal-Mart in Austin. We got a fairly early start on our way to Clovis, NM. The weather was beautiful, the traffic light, and the roads in mostly good shape. Two of the most interesting sights along the way were the endless cotton fields and nearly endless wind farms. In some cases, the wind farms were in the cotton fields. The terrain was mostly flat with occasional hills and valleys. The elevation increased gradually up to about 4000'. For lack of a better option, we again relied on the hospitality of the local Wal-Mart for our overnight stay.
Our arrival in New Mexico represented our visit to the last one of the 50 states we had yet to step foot on. Tomorrow, we are off to Sante Fe, and before our trip is over, we will have traversed quite a bit of the state.
That's a lot of miles in a couple of days, especially with the trailer! Have fun in NM. That's another place I'd like to visit, but would like to get down for some of their snowboarding.
