Saturday, December 7, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries
December 7, 1963
Saturday, left McLean, Texas 6:10 am, in Amarillo 7:20, drove in a dust storm. Ate breakfast and had car washed. It was daylight and foggy in New Mexico, 10 am, set time back to 9 am. Drove in sand storm to Roswell, left there 11:30. Beautiful there, desert mountains, Ruidoso Downs, beautiful there, up in the mountains with tall evergreens and patches of snow. Alamogordo nice and white sands. Reached Los Cruces 4 pm got groceries and crossed Rio Grande River. Stayed in Lordsburg New Mexico 17 miles from Arizona.
Comment: Again, a 600 mile day, no problem except for dust and sand storms, must have been a new experience for them, probably David and Wayne doing most of the driving......
Here are some pictures related to the places they drove through......

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
