51 Hours

In 51 hours I drove from Travis AFB, CA to Meridian, MS. I stopped for gas and to stretch my legs. The only other stop was in Moriarty, NM for 14 hours to sleep and eat.

I saw many beautiful things as well as strange road signs. Well I'm sure they are not strange for the locals.

I do not have time to list them all. Here are a few:
Watch for rattlesnakes
Watch for falling rocks
Warning elavation 5000 feet
Warning do not pick up hitch hikers

I have never had a desire to travel. Now after this journey, 51 Hours, driving for 37 hours and stopping for gas, sleep, & food for the other 14 hours I am so ready to load the car and hit the road.

When I arrived home I told Alex about this abandoned town in New Mexico. Broken down buildings is all that was left of it. There was a small church that looked mostly intact. The town was very small and although there was no way to know what the population was I knew it was never more than 500 people. I wanted to stop and take pictures but I knew being alone it was not safe. The town was Cuervo, NM. I have researched a little since being home and found that others did stop to take pictures. I am going to post a few from their pictures.

I now have a bucket list and going back to this town is on it. A few others will be traveling Route 66 across the USA and Highway 1 in California.

I will be posting pics in the coming days of my journry. I hope you enjoy them. Remember the Cuervo, NM pictures are borrowed, all others are taken by me.
