New Mexico

Most of you probably know that the destination for this trip is the Sasha Festival held this month in Fort Worth, TX. As we had never spent time in New Mexico we tried to hit some of the high spots which I’ve tried to share with you. Today was the last of our New Mexico sightseeing days. Tomorrow we’re off to Abilene, TX and we may not do any photo stops. If not. The next you’ll hear from us will be a report from the festival.

We drove Rt 525 from Silver City out to I-25. Just outside of Silver City we stopped at the Santa Rita Mine.

Day-11-041W

Later on we stopped at a Forest Service campground with a stream running through it. This could be taken almost anywhere and New Mexico would assuredly not be my first guess as to the state where it was taken.

Day-11-095W

We crossed Evan’s Pass. This is the view from the pass East across the valley. You can see the road descending along the side of the mountains.

Day-11-103W

We took I-25 South to Santa Cruz and then US 70 toward Texas. This takes us past White Sands National Monument. An amazing landscape.

Day-11-167W
