At four on 4/4/14

Shortly after four o'clock yesterday 4/4/14 we pulled in at our driveway, ending a 10,000 mile winter sojourn (7000 driving, 3000 sailing). 

We'll take a month off before our next major adventure, to Asia.  

Well, maybe a few days in Moab.

To recap:


4/2/14. The highest point in Texas, Guadalupe Mtn, at 7842 ft. The wind blew 60-70 mph through the campground overnight. 

The trail up:

 


4/3/14. Dusty II with its top popped up on a peninsula in Elephant Butte SP, where primitive camping is only $4 a night. 


4/4/14. My favorite plate todo mundo, the pollo adovo at El Bruno's restaurant in Cuba NM. Our last stop before home.

Roadrunners can go as fast as 20 mph -- but coyotes have been clocked at 43!
