So when I hit the road yesterday I did NOT see these mountains. This image is from a few years ago when we moved from Oregon to New Mexico. Instead, traveling along route 40 I did see the Twin Arrows Trading Post and next time I’m going to bring my good camera because I think I can get some better imagery of this place.
I did see snow on Mt. Humphrey and Mt. Taylor but fortunately the snow was from a few days ago and the roads were fine (except for a brief snow shower east of Gallup).
I have a phobia about mountain roads, curves, ice, snow so I do whatever I can do avoid those conditions. But, on the other hand, I will capture some imagery of what I fear. On this day in Oregon when I had to drive through those mountains, the roads were ok but it was very foggy. I got behind an 18-wheeler traveling at 30-40 mph with flashers on. I put my flashers on and let him/her be my guide. It was scary.
