The Drive South to Tucumcari, New Mexico

Eric and I stayed just south of Mosquero.  The elevation there is 5,590.

Steep Grades

Sharp Turns

Next 2 Miles

The valley below

This 25 miles of road is

described as rough.

There's a noticeable difference in the condition of the road.  Because of the sign, I expected worse road conditions.

Eric & I are alone here.

Entering Logan, I notice

the elevation has dropped

to 3,830 feet.

Logan has services....

Gas, Groceries

We continue our drive on

U.S. Route 54.

And watch out
for Deer.

A train with multiple engines

is heading east.

We make guesses about the

crop grown here.

New Mexico State

University Agricultural

Science Center in

Tucumcari

The elevation here is 4,085 feet above sea level.  Elevation wise, it's been an up and down and up kind of day.

 

Antennas atop the mesa

There's a KOA Kampground

that a way....

The obligatory stop at
Flying J for diesel
fuel.











We will be spending the night the Kmart in Tucumcari.
