Pictures 1: New Mexico to Tennessee

I left New Mexico on May 7, 2010. I spent my first night in Conway, Arkansas, and arrived in the Great Smoky Mountains at about 6 pm on May 8. Here are some pics from that drive.

And yes, I did have some crud on my lens that I didn't notice... But this was pretty much the first time I ever used my new camera, so I think it's forgivable.

Newkirk, New Mexico. This is not the first time I stopped for gas at this little "town." A few winters ago my friend Clare and I drove cross-country, and we stopped here just after an ice storm had blanketed all the grass white and prickly. It was nice to explore in better weather. This is the old church.


The functional gas station is north of I-40, this one is south of I-40.
