Not much to report but we are on Highway 40 headed west, burning up about 350 miles a day. Spent the night in Fort Smith Ark, Shamrock, Tex and Santa Rosa New Mexico so far. Most of the small towns that used to be on Route 66 are dead or dying. The travelling tourist that used to sustain them is speeding by at 75 mph.

| First time divers going deep |
One interesting spot I visited in Santa Rosa NM is the Blue Hole. It is a natural spring about 60 ft in diameter, but 81 ft deep. It is located in the city park and looks like a clear blue pond, but you can’t see the bottom. It is one of the few places where SCUBA divers in the Midwest go to get their open water certification which requires a deep dive over 60 ft. There were about a dozen divers there, most were getting certified. I talked to one and he said there were a few fish and quite a few crawdads. People also leave mementos at the bottom to celebrate the dive.
