North Against the Wind
New Year in New Mexico. What a forsaken place. The wind was blowing 30mph plus today. At least it's still warm. We are in the red zone here. Very dry conditions. The current wild fires are well to the east of us. It's hard for us to relate to stories of flooding in the west. We are camped at a KOA well to the north of Carlsbad. I am not keen on caves but we are driving an hour southwest tomorrow to see the Caverns.
