DAY 1 OR AS WILLIE WOULD SAY "On The Road Again"

Headed out this morning with the usual day 1 jitters, radio off listening for strange noise, mind racing what did I forget, how is everyone else doing? Soon settled into the saddle with the anticipation of aimless wandering for three weeks.

Still didn't feel like I was on my way until shortly after we crossed into New Mexico on US 60. Two lanes, the best type of road, endless vistas, including some snow on the peaks. Radio on cycling between Springsteen, Buffet, and Church with Al leading us on down the road. Looked up at the sky it was an incredible blue with wispy clouds like cotton balls stretched so thin you can see through them. The temperature was suitable to long sleeves and leather jacket with a nice tail wind.

Ended up in Socorro NM for the night, we've been here before, with dinner at a familiar place and an early night.

Glad to be here glad to be wandering again.
