Leaving New Mexico, November 21

Guadalupe Mountains National Park, Texas

It was a long travel day today.  We left White’s City, New Mexico early this morning, and drove through El Paso, Texas and on to our destination of Tombstone, Arizona.  It was a very windy day, and mostly a headwind, so we managed to consume a lot of gas.

When we first left there were low gray clouds hanging overcast, but they soon cleared off and it became sunny.  Later in the afternoon we drove through a few light rainstorms, though we could see from water in the ditches that it had rained heavily in some places, and there were lightning storms around us.  We seemed to skirt the edge of most of them, except for the occasional very strong wind gusts.

The only stop we made, other than a few pit stops, was at Guadalupe National Park in Texas.  We only stopped for a few minutes there at the visitor center, but long enough to look at their display of mounted animals.  It looks like the park would be an interesting place to visit if we had more time.
