This is what we saw just outside Albuquerque. It looked like we were going to run right into the mountain. No worries: the road turned just before we did.
This is what most of New Mexico and Arizona looked like. We don't have mountains like this back East.
Here we are at the continental divide in New Mexico, elevation 7,245 feet. Rainfall runs to the Atlantic on the right side and to the Pacific on the left side. Beyond this point, we are officially in the West.

We took this shot at the continental divide. Here's Connie's car on historic Route 66. They make quite the to-do about this highway, let me tell you. Every few miles there was an exit to get on to Historic Route 66. We decided to do a vacation traveling this route. Not anytime soon, though. Later, after we've recovered from this trip.
This was the view for most of the way -- behind a truck with a mountain looming in the distance.
This is just beyond the Arizona/California border -- just before we reached Needles, CA. The temperature reached 115.
