We had an early morning start trying to beat the heat and enjoyed our final day in the American Southwest. Northern New Mexico is very much desert in the west, lush mountains and meadows in the middle, and flat plains in the east.
We dropped below 5,000 feet by mid afternoon for the first time since Monday. The heat really came on then, as did a very nasty looking storm we managed to skirt coming out of Oklahoma into Kansas.
The next couple of days will just be a drone home in sweltering heat. So this is likely the last post other than a wrap up next week. Maybe I can add a few pictures from Jordan then who carries a much better camera. Thanks all for following.

I didn’t realize that Rio Grande River Gorge bridge was that high! I loved it there, esp Taos and Angel Fire. Welcome to KS and OK! That was the worst riding I’ve ever done in my life 😂

Hey Warren, great to hear from you! Yeah, Kansas is always trying one way or another. Hope you, Neal, and your dad are all doing well. Let us know if you are ever passing through the Louisville area. Southern Indiana has decent riding if you know where to look.
