I'm not in Kansas any more.

Remember when I said that I would not make Santa Fe. Well, I am in Santa Fe, 522(839 km) miles today! And I am less tired than I was yesterday.

The first part of the ride was through Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado. At one point I rode for forty-five minutes at seventy miles an hour without seeing a single structure, car, or anything.

This is what it looked like from my point of view.

However once I reached Trinidad, Colorado everything changed. I was now on an Interstate winding through Raton Pass. I had to completely change my whole style of riding. I made excellent time on beautiful high speed turns that glided through an ever changing topography. Once in Santa Fe I am in the South West. From here I will be in my own stopping grounds. I know the rest of the way in detail. I can't even count how many times I have driven Route 66 and I40 over the years. Here is the rest of the route to California.




I won't guess where I will be tomorrow.

I know it's not Dolinski to bypass Tucumcari. But I hadn't ever been on the Dodge City to Santa Fe route.
