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......
