Roads Less Traveled
Lincoln, New Mexico
Thick adobe walls
Thick adobe walls
We stopped for coffee at Calamity Jane's
Inside we met an unusual local man who makes
dreamcatchers out of horseshoes and the discarded
feathers from his friend's macaw.
The dreamcatchers were clever. He
offered one to me, but I realized that if I
started collecting all the wonderful things I
found on my travels, our little buggy would
soon be stuffed to overflowing and would
exceed its maximum weight rating (GVWR)
of 7,300 lbs.
The roads in New Mexico stretched straight and narrow to
the horizon ahead of us. We were felt alone in the world.
Suddenly rows of satellite radios appeared in the vast lands
on either side of us. Are we truly alone?
Is anybody out there?

After picking up our Lynx trailer at Marshall's RV in Dallas, Texas in May, 2007, we
traveled west through New Mexico.. We took a less-traveled route on roads between
I-40 and I-10 and discovered the charming historic community of Lincoln. This town is
filled with old adobe homes that have thick walls. You can see how thick the walls are
in the doorways and windows.
This was our first boondocking experience. We parked in a
pullout by the side of the road and slept soundly. There
wasn't a soul on the road after dark. When we awoke in the
morning we strolled through the charming town. Our
cameras were very busy trying to capture the beauty of this
stop, and then we jumped in the truck and continued
westward for California coast.
