We have entered the arid and semi-arid lands of the Southwest east of the mountains. We have passed many pecan orchards (pictured), green chile fields, a vineyard, and some dry land cotton farms. We rode about 30 miles just to cross through sprawling El Paso. We are now on the east side of town in order to avoid rush hour traffic in the morning. Tomorrow is a 45 mile ride to Fort Hancock. Have you heard of it?? Nobody else has, either. We will be staying in a zero-service, zero-star motel. No cell phone or wifi. So no blog will be posted until the next day.
Today was an easy ride - perfect weather, smooth roads, early arrival.
Great to hear you had a good day - everyone deserved that after the day before. Avoiding traffic in El Paso is good ANY time of day.
