I love heated gloves. No really, I do...

Dont think it got much over thirty-five degrees all day. I was a little worried about rolling over Raton Pass, the last potential snow maker 'till my return, but the ride over the top was without any drama. It was cold but the roads were dry with little to no traffic.

I made it to Las Vegas baby! (Las Vegas, New Mexico that is). Took me awhile to get here though. I needed to make some unexpected stops along the way to check and adjust the gear and luggage. Coming over Raton Pass I realized my gloves werent heating up and my paws were starting to let me know it. Pulled over, got out the trusty Leatherman, and re-attached the wiring in the plug where it must have been pulled loose when I tried to walk away from the bike, still plugged in, at my last stop. They worked great the rest of the ride. (Know that I am here right now giving a "shout out" to St. Christopher)!

Today: about 325 miles, 6 hours in the saddle.
Tomorrow (Sunday): Las Vegas NM to Deming, AZ / 425 miles / Temp.'s forecasted to be about the same...
Thought(s) for the day: Damn, its cold and Damn, its cold.

GO PACK!!
