We Depart Farmington, New Mexico…Separately…

We arrived here yesterday afternoon and parked in a free downtown parking lot…

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

Kind of neat to find a large, free parking area a very short distance from the Main Street…

Mary’s Albuquerque Airport Shuttle will park directly in front of our motorhome at 6:45 AM this morning and depart at 7:00 AM…

The was the view from our dinette window…

Mary is returning home to California to host a July 4th family reunion and attend to other business,,,I hope to get her back by August 1st.

It was 96 degrees here yesterday at 5,200 feet of elevation, so I’ll be taking the motorhome to higher ground for cooler temperatures. I’ll be driving the about 130 miles to Heron Lake State Park at 7,200 feet of elevation where the temperature was 81 degrees yesterday.

I’m expecting to stay there a couple of weeks to continue my rest and recuperation from out May 27th accident. From there, who knows…except I’ll be seeking those cooler temperatures.

2011-2013 – 6th Circumnavigation Of The USA…Update #2

This Blog posting…which I will post from time-to-time…will be used to present my/our travels on this almost two-year circumnavigation of the United States…my 6th…Mary’s 2nd. During these circumnavigations, I try to travel on roads I’ve not seen before…I’m about 90% successful in that regard.

The only things I know about our potential destinations during this upcoming adventure is that I/we plan to spend a good portion of 2012 exploring the State of New Mexico. In 2013 we’re planning to attend my oldest grand-daughter’s high school graduation in June in southeastern Connecticut. Other than that…we’ll just have to find out one-day-at-a-time where our fates will send us.

The trip began from Murphys, California on November 29, 2011 with 35,956.5 miles on the motorhome odometer. In addition to showing the route taken, I intend to also document where I/we parked during this journey. My guess is that within the about next 700+ days we will park in about 250-500 different places. Here’s the map so far which you may click on to see in a larger view…
