Once out of the fertile Rio Grande River valley we were in high desert wide flat valleys climbing ever so gradually to the Continental Divide. Thinking about it over the years I driven across the Continental Divide in two places in New Mexico, five in Colorado and two, maybe three in Wyoming. Another example of why the wife uses filters for some of her photos, I don't.
Excellent thread mate. Thanks for sharing
^Pretty cool views from that Mount Lemming. I like how the cacti are growing up the mountain.
Just beautiful views and road trip that you did.
Nice pictures/report, thanks.
You certainly covered a lot of ground, and quickly... I'd love to do a lot of that (maybe all of it), but at a more relaxed pace and perhaps taking a bit more in. For example, many of those weird places that you mentioned, the dirty, empty skull-ridden bar/restaurant, would have been a good place to get drunk at, imho - maybe Dennis Hopper would walk in...

Awesome. Ive fond memories of the states. Bought a winibago and cruised around starting in seattle and finishing in los angeles . One of the most hospitable counties ive ever been in. The folk there treat you right and are genuinely friendly. It might of helped that im aussie and the movie Crocodile dundee came out at the same time making aussies flavour of the month. Would go there again in a heartbeat
And that was it. Late morning we descended the mountain and drove back to Phoenix to finish our eight day trip. 5,062.5 miles in eight days of driving.
But that was just a warm-up....
