After a break from traveling, we have been on the road again. We spent two weeks in New Mexico and a few days in the southeastern Arizona mountains. We spent most of the time in the desert and desert mountains, but we also took a few days in Truth or Consequences and Las Cruces NM to soak in the hot springs and visit with friends.

We took LOT'S of pictures and will be posting 4 separate posts over the next few days to share them.
