Today was a bit of a long haul. And we managed to get “lost” 2.5 times… and almost ended up getting the Prius stuck during in a torrential downpour on a trail in the middle of nowhere.

We made it to Tucumcari, New Mexico and hunkered down for the night.

492 miles traveled today, with altitude ranging from 3,750 feet to 10,479 feet in 13 hours.
