Pausing on the way to AZ

The trailboss is reporting in from Carlsbad, New Mexico, about to enter Karl's Bad Caverns, as we used to say. Just a note to let you know we'll continue the posting to the boomer blog after a short hiatus. We're on our way to the house in Arizona and this time we have the trusty PC packed inside, so we'll be back on line shortly.
Please. No need to mount another "bring back the blog" campaign, Mr. Obert.
Weather is nice, we got out just ahead of the cold snap. Crossed the high plains yesterday through Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle. Helps you remember what a big country this is and the depth of its resources. Cotton, oil, peanuts, pecans, cattle, goats, winter wheat, potash, salt and something called "caleche." All this along the road side. And, of course, Texas has the tallest cross in the western hemisphere.
And yes, Lorlee, we went through the spectacular Palo Duro Canyon. Photos later. This motel has what may be the world's slowest PC.
Now we'll see what a sixty-year-old can get in the way of senior discounts as we enter elder country.
