Do you see that stretch on the right side of the picture where I turned south in New Mexico and proceeded down to Douglas? 100 miles of nothing ... beautiful scenery, but only one town to speak of. And no gas at all. Luckily I'd topped off my tank just before the start of that journey so I had sufficient to get to the other end of that. Still, it's an eye opener ... and lesson learned: never trust that gas will be there. If I'm about to set out across the wilderness, top up.
