Thank you. I went over and read some of your blog, upvoted a few. Yea I would say that was a pretty weird place and weird feeling in that town with the tires.
Something I remember as well that was weird to me, well it was not a good part of the trip let's just say:
I had looked forward to checking out white sands New Mexico. When I arrived there, there were many people in line, in their cars, waiting to pay $5.00 at a booth just to go up to a higher elevation just to see the White Sands desert. They had it all fenced off so you couldn't see the place from just a slightly lower elevation, you had to get up higher.
That really got my blood going to see that happening in the ' land of the free. ' I was too angry to sit in line on my bicycle with those people, so I got some water and headed back down the road.
