Back in New Mexico

Well, I have returned to New Mexico.  This time I am in the northeastern part of the state.  I haven’t been to this area of New Mexico before.  We spent the night in Raton and will be leaving for Santa Fe shortly.  It is cooler (good), drier (not so good), and at a high elevation (6680′ not so good for breathing).  When we left Colorado Springs a cold front had moved through with high winds, and dropped the temperature about 15 degrees.  On the way to Raton we stopped at a Rest Area and there was a big truck pulling a 5th wheel RV.  It was a pretty red truck but what was unusual was there was a Smart Car sitting sideways behind the extended cab on the truck.  That was kinda neat.  I don’t think I could fit in such a little car even if I was alone.
