A few last minute things to put in the car (so far no panic attacks because we forgot something), then south on 80 to Douglas and back northeast to Lordsburg on I-10. We stopped for gas, which was a lot cheaper ($4.99 in Bisbee and $4.49 in Lordsburg), then back on I-10 and a stop for lunch (Subway) in Deming. My playlist, Deb's playlist and a couple of podcasts burned up the day. Las Cruces, then Rt 70 to White Sands, past the giant pistachio in Alamogordo (thank you spell checker), Ruidoso (spell checker did not know that one), then ended the day in Roswell. Dinner at Cattle Barons Steakhouse (nice salad bar).
We saw the most beautiful cloud formations all day. We even got a little rain here and there.
We are getting back in the groove of one drives and the other does the research.

There is a database (hmdb.org) of all the roadside history signs that I never stop to read so we can look them up as we drive along. Super helpful because it gives us a snap shot of any historical events that happened "on this spot in the year xxxx". It has a map showing any past or upcoming signs.
roadsideamerica is where you can look up weird stuff like "biggest ball of yarn" or "tallest stack of file cabinets". A website or an app.
Wikipedia is where we get info on the history of any towns we drive through. It lists important people from there (John Denver is from Roswell), what businesses put it on the map, what scandals happened.
OK, that's all I remember from yesterday..
