My apologies for just getting Day 4 on the blog. We have been hard at work riding those motors and taking in the beautiful scenery along the way! As we rode from San Antonio TX to Cimarron NM, we saw some amazing sites! Sites like the Wind Mills farms in Southwest TX (there had to be thousands of them) that could be seen as far as the eye would allow! We saw, I don't know how many, TX ranches with the crude oil pumps out in the fields, pumping away! There were several horse and cattle ranches as well! The weather was surprisingly nice; none of that South Carolina humidity...haha! The temperature has been around 98-100 degrees and it's been very bearable.
It was our plan to stay in Clovis NM at Oasis State Park, but we had another minor setback, that we took care of in about 45 minutes. So we decided to ride to Cimarron and stay the night there. We stayed at the Canyon Inn, it was a mom and pop outfit, but the service was friendly and impressive and the room was neat and clean. On our way into Cimarron as we turned off of the exit ramp onto the main road, we had 2 Elk cross the road in front of us. And yes, they walked across the road, never did they run! After we got settled in, Mike and I went outside to enjoy the fresh mountain air and two other bikers pulled up to the room beside ours. they got off of their bikes and came over to us and we all greeted each other and got acquainted with them. These guys were much older and they were from TX, on their way to Vancouver Washington for a reunion. They were military veterans of Vietnam and they were in a Huey Unit together. We all enjoyed our time chatting together, for what seemed like hours! Then they retired for the night and so did we.
P.S.
I will be uploading the pics from Days 4 & 5 when we stop for the night in California. So be on the lookout...I think you're going to enjoy these shots! Thank you all for continuing to follow us and posting your comments. This trip is an experience and an opportunity that we may never have again!
