Day 21: Newkirk NM to Clines Corner NM

Three full weeks - seems like an eternity. New Mexico has been brutal, but it all comes to an end tomorrow.

Started early again today:


Breaking Camp
 Again there was a moon out and, though not as picturesque as yesterday I did capture it:

The setting New Mexico Moon
The New Mexico countryside is vast and open:
The open New Mexico Countryside
Though there was not much wind, there were still lots of hills. I got to this one point:

All water drains to the Rio Grande
Where it seems like it should have been downhill all the way to Albuquerque. Alas, not so. Lots of grueling climbs in the heat and not one, but two:
Second flat tire of the day
So far not a day has gone by in New Mexico without a flat. I guess that is part of grueling.

I am finishing this up in a Subway:
Blog writing with a Sandwich
I won't make it to the next town, so that means another night of camping. The last.

Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion.
