We spent last night at one of our favorite spots, Guadalupe Mountain National Park. And as you would expect there were no cell phone or air card services, so I could not write a blog.

A very nice drive from Deming, NM. It was nice to get off of the busy Interstate, I10, and on some US highways. We were a little late getting there and got the last pull thru space. The sun was going down behind the mountain, but only about 6pm.

This morning, even before we got up the hikers were coming in by the carload, weighing their packs, stretching and making ready to hike the mountain.

Just after we left we took a state route toward Pecos, TX and were stopped by a local Sheriff stating that there were two big loads coming that took most of the road and that we should pull off where we were and wait for them. Shortly one arrived but they had lost contact with the second one via radio and did not know where they were for sure, but to wait.
These were huge units over 200ft long and I would judge them to be about 20 ft wide with 8 tires on each axle with 12 axles. They were hauling two huge pieces of machinery. I had a chance to talk with one of the escort vehicle drivers and he said they were going to California, but could not take any freeways as they were too big. They were traveling at about 20mph, so it is going to take a long time to get to California.

I will have more photos on tomorrows blog.
