Sept. 22, 2008, Monday. We will remember this date. We had to bid farewell to Woodland Park, which we loved so much. As we were pulling out, Jeanne said while stomping her feet "I don't want to leave." We decided to change our route to Ky by going south in Colorado to New Mexico. We went through Pueblo and Trinidad, Co. over Raton pass. At the town of Raton we turned east. We left the mountains and started through the rolling prairie lands, seeing many pronghorns along the way. It started raining on us. Just as Allan said "I'm sure glad I put on new wiper blades", the drivers side wiper blade blew off the window. There was no place to pull over for five miles so Jeanne had to guide Allan down the road. He pulled over and took the wiper off the passenger side and put on the drivers side. We spent the night in Clayton, NM. As we drove in to Clayton on the west side there was a huge feed lot with hundreds of cows. We were glad the campground was on the other side of town with the wind blowing from the south. Even though the temperatures are warmer, we were able to sleep with our windows open. We were having gusts of wind up to 26 mph.
We are up early this morning with the sun shining and will be driving to Amaillo, Tx.
