Travelling from Carlsbad to Picacho Peak Arizona

As we travel from Carlsbad NM we take US62/180 to I-10 in the El Paso TX area. We will pass Guadalupe Mountain range that extends over 8700 feet. It's Thursday January 13, 2011 and remains cold. We are not complaining because the scenery is great and so new to us. This pix is along ways off showing the Guadalupe Mountain.

I-10 to connect back up on our Arizona journey.

On I-10 West outside of El Paso, TX we are detoured to a side

track area that  is an unmarked U.S. Border Patrol Check

station. The Border Patrol guard on the right

with the K-9 has the dog smell the car

while another agent questions the driver.

Often the driver is never aware there vehicle is being

sniffed by a K-9.

Betty and Judy watchover the rigs for a rest stop

just after the Border Patrol stop on I-10.

We are 10 days on the road and they are still smiling. Not

bad, eh?

the I-10 rest area.

Picacho means Peak in Spanish. So does that mean

we can call it Peak Peak!
