Today was our last day of the rally and off-roading in New Mexico! Yesterday we had a great drive around the Dona Ana mountains. Last night we went out to a Mexican restaurant for supper. Choice number 1 had an hour and a half wait, so we went to choice number 2. As it turned out, Choice number 1 is the choice of tourists but number 2 is the choice of locals, and I know why - the food was fabulous. Today, we went on the "Skyline" trip and had a chance drive to the top of a mountain. We didn't take the drive right to the top, especially after we saw one of the drivers take a wrong line and his two front wheels went up as the back went down - yikes!!! All was well as he made it up, and down, safe and sound. Actually after watching the 5 out of 20 Jeeps go up, I think we would have done fine. I don't know if the trip the day before had any bearing on it. There was a space between two rocks up a mountain and a very steep decline - Gerry wanted to go, I didn't. Of course after some discussion (and I do mean discussion), we went up and over. Actually it wasn't all that bad in the end.
Now it's time to move on and we will start heading west. I think we will go towards Apache Junction and spend a few days up there.
