Capulin Volcano National Monument and the Continental Divide

The adventure has begun. Starr and I left Atlanta on Tuesday, September 1, in a rental truck loaded with the family heirlooms, abandoning Bill to his own devices. Our destination: Boise, Idaho.

The first couple of days were just to make miles, but by Thursday we were ready for some sight-seeing. We pulled off the main road in northwestern New Mexico to see Capulin Volcano National Monument, the site of a 60,000 year old volcanic cone.

The next day we crossed the Continental Divide at Monarch Pass on US 50 in Colorado - 11,312 feet!
