New Mexico and Colorado... just a tease...

We knew we would have a few "power - driving" days... and that would mean less caching and tourist stops.   New Mexico and Colorado were victims of this downside of the EPIC adventure.

We did make a few quick geocaching stops and we did snap a few pics... but we didn't come even close to witnessing the grandeur we are sure each of these states has to offer!

One goal we did gave for New Mexico was to drop off a travel bug (a Boy Scout coin) headed to Philmont that Team Letterman had passed on to Swiz.  Ironically, our search for a traditional large enough to hold two coin took us to a BSA cache that was placed for a merit badge!  Things are meant to happen as they happen!

One of the most unique places we stopped was an obscure cemetery... Otero County Cemetery in Colorado.  All but one of the 200 markers is a metal cross without names or dates.  The one unique grave, that of a veteran, is the only regular marker with a date.

Looks like The Tick-Magnets are going to have to plan another westward adventure!  Skiing, balloon fest??  Surely we can think of something!  ;)

P.S. -  Heehee... something else unique happened... we had pizza delivered to our room!    We are so worldly!
