December 24-27: Del Rio

From Port Isabel we meandered to the border town of Del Rio, Texas (Amistad National Recreation Area). The Rio Grande constitutes the border in much of this area. No wall! We saw blue 55 gallon food grade barrels marked "AGUA" along the roadway.

Social distancing together...

Going home and passing the original Judge Roy Bean saloon. We spent a bit of the drive reading about him. He was a real character.

On the way back to Santa Fe we stayed overnight in Roswell, New Mexico. Then we continued home on Highway 285. Of course we needed to listen to the podcast: Tower 57:

If you drive past the lights of downtown Roswell, north on Route 285 into the darkness of the New Mexico desert, you'll run across a little radio station with a single tower. This is the home of WKLEN talk-radio, broadcast through Tower #57.

Aliens taking over a radio station? Maybe. Spooky? Definitely!
