Sorry no photos today. Drove it to a sunrise session of beach volleyball with the guys which was cut short by rain. The cowl to windshield seam seal repair seems to have held .. no water in the front floorboards.

Last night's trek was the subject of today's photo (below). I was somewhere on that flat spot across the canyon.
65mph, 2800rpm, 85* ambient temp, 15mph headwind, ac on, tubby trailer and truck loaded 80%= 200*-205* engine temp. Hopefully Texas summer will not increase the engine temp too much. 2F working her booty off so I give her credit for that.
New Mexico?? Im ready to go back. Beautiful country.
Played with my undercarriage and switched out some shocks. I guess it was time.

That's the Caja del Rio west of Santa Fe, which was formed by extensive basaltic lava flows. What you can't see between the flat area in the foreground and the Jemez Mountains in the background is White Rock Canyon, cut by the Rio Grande. White Rock Canyon is ~900 feet deep. A lot of movies were filmed in part in this area, most recently "3:10 to Yuma" and "True Grit". And the 1985 film "Silverado" kicks off with a great panoramic shot of the northern end of White Rock Canyon, taken from the White Rock Overlook on the west side.

Beautiful. Will have to come check it out. Went to the Gila a couple of years ago. Wanting to get back there too.

I know of 5 I can think of off the top of my head, all within 10 miles of me, all not for sale, all rotting away at least 10 years. One is my neighbors. The first time I knocked on his door to buy it I was 16; I’m 36 and I’m getting the same answer “going to pull it in this winter and restore it”. Says the last offer he turned down was $20k cash.... And I was thinking it was a parts rig!
We should try to wheel out to the overlook just on your side of Montoso Peak?
Otowi Mesa, north end of Pecos divide in distance. I did this on my bicycle, it was tricky, but, I we actually did it in a 2nd Gen 4Runner back in the day.
Valles Caldera, Bandelier National Monument, LANL.
The little trickle at the far left is Rio Frijoles (below). If I am correct, here, it is the deepest section along the whole length of the Rio Grande (probably North America's fifth longest river), at 1,000-feet.

And, I took the 40 back this afternoon, hoping for some storm.
La Cienega
This morning, I hiked to the peak just above my passenger windshield pad.
I'm on the original Route 66, and before that, it was the Camino Real - from New Mexico to Mexico City. There are chunks of wagon or early automobile leaf spring all over the old ruts which reveal a glimpse from the past.
