We headed out to New Mexico for the first practicum of the season. Google Maps offered up a shorter route, and since our trip was already long, it seemed like a good idea. Until it was no longer a good idea, it might have been shorter, but it was also a lot slower, gravel road at times single lane through the deserted desert landscape. For the hour and a half that we spent traveling down this road, we met one car and had no cell reception at all - fortunately, we had a full tank of gas and lots of snacks.
Had we not been in such a hurry, we might have stopped to inquire about the price of the dinosaur, but the store was closed, and we had to press on to get to Ruidoso. Next time, maybe?
Taken through the windshield which added an interesting touch |
We eagerly counted down the mile markers, at mile marker 0 could there be an intersection and a larger road for us to travel?
Equally deserted but at least it was paved.
