Speeding into New Mexico…

We spent the morning bumming around on 4th avenue, which everyone recommended for it’s eclectic shops, cafes and bars. and then headed back on the road again. We paid a visit to Wyatt Earp in Tombstone where the temperature hit a whopping 106 degrees -so we didn’t spend a lot of time there. However it was worth the detour. Heading further east we ‘sped’ into New Mexico and made a $65 donation to the city police department. (They should post bigger signs if they’re going to take a whole 10 miles an hour off the speed limit!) We stopped at a few ‘ghost towns’ that were advertised from the highway and marked in our atlas. They were really ghost towns as even the owners abandoned them. We called it a bust and moved on to Alamogordo, White Sands Desert, home of the missile test stuff.
