June 27 --The Beach!

Did I mention that yesterday was hot! We decided to leave a little earlier to press through the heat and get to the mountains. It worked! Our high was only in the mid 80's.

The things you see on the road. We saw much agri-torture. We saw crops growing, cows being raised, and windmills spring up our of the ground around Vega, TX.

While you are in Vega you can see the Vega Sky Scraper and the historic Magnolia Station on Route 66. You will never want to leave Vega.

Paul need a rest so we stopped at the Capulin Volcano in New Mexico about 30 miles from Raton. There were also some cool flowers and cows at the stop.



We made it to the Great Sand Dune in Colorado. Paul did not want to camp on this trip but when we checked there was no room at the inn! We did get the last cabin that had two sets of bunk beds, a light, a receptacle and a space heater. It got cool that night and we could see thunderstorms in the distance. It was a good night.
