Day one was the 950 mile drive to Dalhart TX. Day two is the 400 mile drive to Crested Butte. I love the stretch between Clayton NM and Raton. It starts with the grassy plains then gives way to the volcanoes. Sierra Grande serves a silent welcome to the Rockies.
There's some wildlife to be seen along the route.
And pronghorn. I think this one is a shooter, but I am not sure.
Laurie thought this pic was comical
This is the biggest herd I have ever seen.
The view from the condo where I sit typing.
After I got settled in, Laurie and I took a bike ride down the mountain into town for dinner. She got to ride the new electric assist bike I bought her for our anniversary for the first time. She loves it. She kicked my butt riding back up the mountain.
