Up early, got packed up and moved out by 10:00. Stopped in LaVeta to dump at the Country Store, then headed West on 160, deciding we wanted a more scenic route than I-25. Although we though it would be more mountainous, it actually turned out to be less so, traveling down a long flat valley for most of the way (other than the climb over LaVeta Pass), with just a few twists and curves and hills around Taos and Santa Fe. Picked up lunch at Wendys along the way, and arrived at our overnight stop south of Albuquerque, a private residence with a good-sized paddock and a run-in shed in the back that boards animals. We wanted to check it out before we left our animals there for our long trip later this month. Friendly dogs were everywhere, and our guys socialized immediately, the horses loved having so much space to run around in. We didn't have a lot of room to maneuver the RV around the house, but we managed with care. Spent a restful evening, knowing that in order to accommodate our hostess we need to be out before 8:00 when she left for work.
