Day 10 - Albuquerque, NM to Conifer, CO (Wed 12/2/15)
I am alive and well and resting peacefully in my bed, near Conifer, Colorado.

Miles Driven Today: 500
Miles Driven This Trip: 2,735
This is a map of where I drove today.
The motorcycle has been stuck in gear for days. The shifter is useless. Today, in Santa Fe, the clutch went out. So, imagine that you're driving a motorcycle, but it's stuck in 5th gear, and you have no clutch. So, that means, essentially, that you can't stop. At all. So, I limited my stops to gas stations that were level or on hills. Somehow, I made it back by the grace of God. I made it to the Twin Forks Restaurant, where I abandoned it. Steve and Robby were nice enough to drive me home.
I guess now that I have to go into work tomorrow.
OK. Here's the gun battle that Mac was telling me about at Rocky Point. Somehow I'd missed this: 5 killed in tourist zone gun battle at Rocky Point
Here's an article that talks about how dangerous the Nogales - Phoenix corridor is for drug smuggling: http://www.mensjournal.com/magazine/the-u-s-mexico-borders-150-miles-of-hell-20130103
