Looooooong Day

​As the sun came up, we were in Del Rio. Moving westward brought a change in landscape to tumbleweeds, sand, cactus, rocks and very tall mountains. Strangely though, we saw no birds or even armadillos, just a few skinny cows in a vast desert.

Finally, around 3, we left Texas and into New Mexico. On the left of us, was The Wall, Rio Grande River, and Old Mexico. 

We are finally in Arizona now. Coming up on Cochise, Benson and then Tucson. Only 17 more hours to go!! On a side note…a biker that started this week rode into major snow the first day! 🥶 Temperature has definitely dropped and strong winds are blowing. Praying it all settles down in the next few days.

  1. Donna and Vicki, a traveling pair,
    On a train ride with time to spare,
    Through Arizona they chug along,
    California their final song,
    17 more hours, but they don't despair!

  5. It's like a preview of the places you'll visit. Should be fun to see the train from the other side as you pass by on bicycle!
