Wests Best Kept Secrets
At the top of four AM mountain time, five central, but since the daylight savings thing just changed it was really later. I think.
Anticipation of the adventure ahead pulled me from a light sleep and wrestled me out of bed after only a few hours rest. The previous day had been filled with trailer and truck preparation after returning from a four day “Airline Adventure”.
A mere 12 solo hours later arrival at my uncles house in New Mexico marked the end of the first leg of the trip. After some chile that couldn’t be beat and a good solid nap we were ready to hit the road.
With the Sun still well over the horizon we were on the way. The photo is right before we departed.
The days drive took us across New Mexico Indian Country, Arizona, through Nevada across the Hoover dam and well in to the desert.
We ended up somewhere beyond Area 51, precisely in the middle of nowhere. The reason it is so secret is that there is nobody here. Nothing for a very long ways.
