Parked On The I-40 East

12:30pm New Mexico Time


We ran into a bit of a problem. A big accident ahead of us on the interstate brought all vehicles big and small to a standstill. The traffic behind us was at least a mile long if not more. The accident was only a 1/2 mile in front of us. Despite being concerned about the accident and those involved, it was quite boring to sit parked on an interstate.

Cassie's thoughts as we sat parked: The mountains are truly beautiful and cameras cannot possibly capture what we have seen. Side note: the settlers who passed this way so many years ago had to be pretty tough to endure some of these conditions. So glad they persevered and so glad to not be one of them!

My thoughts as we sat parked: Dang it! Now we'll be late! When's lunch?

Truly Cassie had the better perspective.

  1. It's karma. The two of you were forced to slow down to the settlers' pace so you could get a better grasp of their adventures.
