Wednesday Aug 23. Aurora Colorado - Dalhart Texas 570 km

We got up in Rick's camper around 07:00 and were on the road only at 9:30 after looking for a set of new 30 amp fuses. We headed for Colorado Springs where we had a meeting with Bill Garrison ("pieceofficer" from LT-forum).
We took Hwy 83 South from Denver instead of Interstate 25 and found Bill's workplace with the help of good old Garmin. We shook hands with Bill, had some LT-related chat (what a surprise, eh?) and I gave him the little led switches to be mounted on the BMW Phoenix housing. Bill explained the things he had done to his bike and showed the nice and proper gear he has bought for his 5-year-old daughter. As we dropped by in the middle of his workday we pretty soon continued our trip towards Raton New Mexico.



From Raton we headed Southeast on Hwy 64 towards Texas and at first we tried to book a motel in Clayton NM. However the hotel had no (working) internet connection , so we decided to continue to Dalhart TX.
We found a Best Western with a working Internet and stayed there.












Finns being wondered by Bill Garrison(third from left) and his work mates.








Somewhere in the plains of New Mexico or Northern Texas.
