Morning in New Mexico

Man did I miss the mountains. I don't know how folks can stand the flatlands. There's nothing to put life in any real perspective when there is nothing to look at on the horizon. The mountains bring life back to me in a truly inspiring way. Even though the mountains here are still small relatively speaking, they are still magnificent.

It's a very cold morning this morning compared to the last few. We're in Gallup New Mexico at a small RV park eating breakfast, taking last long showers & getting things put back into their respective spots so they don't go flying out of cabinets or bouncing around the trailer.

We have a full 8-9 hour drive to reach our destination in Quartzsite Arizona where we'll meet up with our friend Alan for some sun soaking during the day and campfire chats at night. I will finally get to use my hammock that I bought in Akumal Mexico if I can find a place to hang it between the trucks and trailers...

I noticed a really bad wear pattern on the driver's side tires of the trailer. Turns out that we have some bent axles/springs on that side of the trailer. One of the tires is completely bald on the inside edge, so last night I found a tire shop and had them rotate the tires on the rims. That should get us through the rest of the trip, but I will keep an eye on them anyway.
