I started off the day just great!! Had a flat tire. So I couldn't leave when I wanted to. Waited until 7 am for the repair shop to open so they could fix it. Had a bad valve stem fixed and I was back on the road. Unfortunately much later than I wanted.
Took my detour today. 237 miles to go around 135 miles of I-40. There was absolutely no reason that I couldn't have traveled that route on Saturday. It was quite a journey! A lot of it was up and down and twists and turns. The road was bumpy too. A lot of it was driving around the rim of a mini Grand Canyon. Some guard rail in places and other places, no guard rail with a drop straight down a long, long way. It took 5 hours and 15 minutes to get back to I-40.
Here is a patch of a lava field along I-40 in New Mexico.
Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Moriarty, NM. That is east of Albuquerque.
