As we travel I always try to get some local books written about the area by the people who live in the area. You get a better feel of the territory. Have only gotten 4 or so books read, but am reading in 3 now (you have to have one in the John, one by the bed, and one on the couch, don't you?)

Nice weather today as we drove through a Pueblo town south of Albuquerque and then went to the Air Balloon Museum. After eating a bite at Subway about 3 pm we went to the Petrogliphs National Monument.. Wind has come up and much sand shifting about, but no rain yet.
