Another long short day - or is it short long day. New Mexico is hard riding with a headwind. It has been hot, and it getting hotter, but just two more days of riding left - and both can be short (and will probably be long). Ah well.
I started off to an amazing moonset:

The picture didn't do it justice (I wish I were a better photographer), but the sunrise was great too.
I started really early again to avoid the heat and the wind - and that works for a few hours (wind) and a couple more (heat).
New Mexico is wide open with lots of interesting landscape - though more beautiful in distance that up close in many cases:

And I even found a Citizens bank (not related to the Citizen's back home I guess):

Logan was the high point for towns. Small town New Mexico is not thriving, so many things have closed down and so few people seem to still populate the towns.
Though the day was hard, I finally saw a road sign with my destination:
 |
| Albuquerque 162 Miles |
So there you have it. Stay cool.
