The Start of the Adventure

Here I am in a Starbucks cafe in El Paso TX. We arrived in Las Cruces, NM on Friday and jumped right into the adventure.

Our trip out was mostly uneventful. We stayed at the Cactus Ranch in Shawnee, OK on the first night. Our hosts were very gracious and friendly. The second night we spent with Danny and Karen Alewine in Lubbock. They made us a great meal for dinner. We saw the southern high plains across OK, TX, and NM. The truck worked pretty hard getting us up and over the Franklin Mountains on US 70 highway in NM.

We are now staying at the grounds of the El Paso County Sheriff's Posse, oldest continuous sheriff's posse in the United States, what a lot of history there is on their beautiful facility. The Posse took many of us on a six mile ride along the Rio Grande River this morning. It is a spectacular site. I will add pictures when I get it figured out.??

We will go to the border at Santa Teresa, NM on Tuesday morning to start our ride north. My internet access availability may be less then I expected. I will do my best to post new events.
