Crossing the Continental Divide

Yesterday I drove from Moab Utah, crossed through Colorado, then into New Mexico to stop for the night at a Good Sam RV park at Rio Rancho New Mexico. It is near Santa Fe. Much of the day was driving through arid country with some hay farming at about 7000 feet. The sign as we crossed the Continental Divide said 7580 feet. From there we started downhill. It is hotter lower down and I was glad to be able to put on the air conditioning as the temp was around 33C. I checked to see if there was any music on in Santa Fe - which is well known for its Opera and dancing but there was nothing so I shall continue on east along Inter State 40 to Amarillo (Texas), Oklahoma City (Oklahoma), Little Rock (Arkansas) to Memphis (Tennessee). From there I will head south to Vicksburg  - the first battle site that I will visit of the American Civil War.
