If I have learned one thing on this trip it is that there are so many ways for landscapes to be beautiful. We are camped tonight outside Grants, New Mexico. The campground is surrounded by volcanic rocks and desert. The campground owners created a path out into the surrounding area. I took a walk just as the sun was setting. There are huge piles of black volcanic rock, red soil, and many desert plants. We have been surprised at how many places we see evidence of volcanic activity - in Sequoia, Hurricane, Flagstaff and now in New Mexico.
In the desert evening none of the plants, sounds or smells were familiar. I wondered about rattlesnakes and other creepy crawlers. Something rustled in the sagebrush and I reconsidered the wisdom of heading off on my own. Then a great big rabbit hopped into sight. The moon is rising - I think that we will have a full moon before we return home. Beautiful evening.
The weather continues to be great. There is a much wider range of temps during the day - high 70's during the day and then low 30's at night. But this is great for RVing. We enjoy the day and then button up for the evening.

You sound very reflective. You must have had quite the walk.
I'm so glad you two are having such a good time and feel like you are finding things that are more beautiful every day.
