Al felt good driving, he wasn't too tired. We took a lot of breaks, stopping at the roadside rest areas & picnic areas every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. We drove about 350 miles, arriving at our overnight stop at a roadside picnic area just north of Post, Tx. about 3:30pm.

Just north of IH20 on Hwy84, heading toward Lubbock, we saw a new agricultural crop being raised by the farmers. (Wind Turbines in the background. Click on picture to see larger view)
They are really big.
You don't realize how big they are or how many wind turbines there are until you drive through this area. We must have driven past 500 to a 1000 today. No telling how many Wind Turbines are on the farms and ranch lands away from the main highway.

More wind turbines visible from our parking spot.
Monday, June 15th. Back on the road again about 6:20am. It is easy to get an early start when you don't stay in a campground or RV Park. You pretty much just put a few things away inside and drive off.
It was an easy drive to Capulin, NM, about 340 miles.

The high plains in New Mexico. You can see forever. An extinct volcano in the distance.
Our destination is Capulin RV Park.
Capulin, NM is next to Capulin Volcano National Monument, which we plan to explore tomorrow.

Until then,
