| From Truth or Consequences |
Truth or Consequences! For those of you old enough to remember the 50's, that was the name of a TV show hosted by Ralph Edwards. And it became the name of a NM town that had been called Hot Springs.
Last night I "previewed" the ride with Google Earth. I was amazed at how much irrigated cropland is in the Rio Grande River floodplain.
Today we rode north to ToC. The highway paralled the Rio Grande, and crossed it at several points. We passed two lakes / reservoirs formed by dams that store water for irrigation and other needs. We also saw a huge dairy operation - there were at least 2000 dairy cows visible in the yards. Along our route were more pecan orchards, lettuce, onion and alfalfa fields, and many yet to be planted. Of course, any time we are near water, Char is happy!
