Another beautiful day traveling. I drove for awhile and it happened to be the leg of the journey where we crossed from New Mexico into Colorado. They tell me it's a beautiful sight but I was deeply concentrating on the hills, mountains, construction and curves. I did manage to see a herd of young deer of some kind but only because it was straight in front of me for an instant before the road curved but I did manage to yell at and point so Ron got to see them, too. After we got out into the open area we got our first look at the Rocky Mountains and their snow capped peaks. Unfortunately, neither of us has a camera that takes good distance pictures.
We're in Colorado Springs, CO for the night. Depending on the weather in the morning, we may stay another day and go to Pike's Peak in the morning and some other of the tempting attractions in the area afterwards.
We had some pretty high wind gusts but still made pretty good mileage, 25 + mpg. New van is doing good. We did see several historical markers marking the Santa Fe Trail and The Little Sisters of the Poor.
