We had a good first day on our road trip. We had planned to start about 6:00am but didn’t get away until about 6:40am. We are taking the southern route which is a little longer but is different scenery. We had lunch at a roadside rest area about an hours drive from Santa Fe and got into Holbrook, AZ where we are staying tonight about 5:20pm, so we made good time.
We saw lots of trains and trucks along the way. One National Guard convoy near Albuquerque.
Tomorrow we should get to our motel in San Diego late afternoon. The Fall colors were very visible along all the river valleys. Full leaves were still on many of the trees.
