Road Trip, Part 3

... and the next day, I did it again

I made it to Albuquerque by 6pm after an exactly 600 mile (as the GPS flies) trip. I chose not to stop for photographic purposes on the way, because the extra 2 - 3 hours necessitated by the more southerly route would have meant my risking having to do the last bit of the trip (the most likely to be snowy) in the dark. As it happened, I got to Albuquerque just as it became dark, a little after sunset. It's Really Cold here, but there is not any snow. Luckily. About 100 miles south of Albuquerque I went through a fairly mountainous area (about 5000 feet altitude I think), where it was raining heavily but only just below the snow line. I think I made the right navigational decision, somehow.

I have photos to upload, so I'll probably do that on and off over the next couple of days. I'm at a conference currently (an AFRL workshop on reconfigurable systems), so don't expect more updates here until Friday.
