After breakfast, I packed up and we headed North, quickly coming under cloudy skies that turned in to light rain, then sleet, then a full out blizzard by the time we reached Albuquerque. The snow did not stick at all, it was around 1-degree Celsius out, but it was quite a change from the 28 degrees from the day before! I had dressed in shorts and a tank top after weeks in the heat, so was a little chilly. When it is cold, Luna and I have to negotiate the temperature in the car, we usually end up with me being a little cold and she a little hot. I had made the decision the day before that I would stay in a motel today. After around 4 days in strong heat with no shower immediately after around a week with daily showers, my stench was revolting and my hair hung in greasy tendrils. The area I am headed has no real campsites that would have showers, let alone water, and I could not handle another day of greasy stink, so I was very thankful to find a cheap Motel 6. Luna has spent the day napping, I have spent it wrestling with the crappy internet that shuts off frequently (it was every couple minutes for awhile), doing some hand washing and finally getting caught up on my blog!
Right at the foot of the mountains there is a white strip, this is White Sands National Monument from my campsite.
We went through the village of Los Lunas!
