DAY 20 PLAINVIEW TO SOCORRO NM

Wow, it's day 20 of a 21 day trip. That always conjures up mixed emotions about where we are and where we've been. As always anxious to get home and sorry to be off the bike doing a meet and great with this great country.

Left this morning and the temperature had dropped from 51 when we got up to 48 degrees.

 We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic

Van Morrison

We pulled out bundled against the cool air into a very light mist. The fog had rolled in and the clouds had dropped making driving an almost dream like sequence at 70 mph. Road in quiet for a while and then switched the radio to sxm channel 32. Several miles later the song fit the day with Van Morrison singing Into The Mystic.

Sun started picking out clouds began to disappear and we finished the day on Route 60 into Socorro NM.

Home tomorrow.
