Updating this site hasn't gone as planned. Two factors seem to be the culprit. First, we began this trip dry camping in areas with extremely limited or no internet connection, and when we get to an area with good coverage, we played catch-up with e-mail etc. Second factor...
This road trip starts with a visit to Guadalupe Mountain National Park, a place we enjoy and have visited repeatedly.
