Just a quick post from Raton, NM.  I now have a new hatred for NM…I’m sure it’s a lovely place (in some other part of the state)…but they have serious speed limit issues.  We logged over 500 miles today…left this morning at 9:30 Central time and got here around 8:00 Mountain time.  And surprisingly we are feeling pretty good.  Samuel was his normal easy-going self.  Jacob and Caleb did great, with the exception of the last 2 hours (cabin fever).  Derek took them for a quick swim in the pool.  And there is a putting green for kids that they’ll hit tomorrow morning.

Funny quote for the night from Caleb, talking about the motel room:

"It’s too bad it doesn’t have a game room and medium (i.e. media) room!"

    At one point in his life, Matt spent some time in a local jail cell in some hole in NM because of an outstanding traffic warrant–he has similar feelings regarding parts of NM as you.

    I’m with Matt and Meredith. I received the first speeding ticket of my life in NM when I was taking the kids to visit my parents in 1985. Nothing but road and dessert, and the speed limit is 55; or it changes from 70 to 60 to 55. I think that traffic tickets are the only way this state makes money. Good grief!
