Okay, I give, HOW did you know we are birders?
I really want to get down to NM as early as we can to take advantage of the winter birding and I've looked at every route trying to figure out which would be the best, and I'm thinking that I'll wait til closer to leaving time and see what the weather is like. I might go Oregon Coast, to California and then down to Hwy 10 and over that way, or just cross my fingers and go for it, via Salt Lake City and Moab. You should see my bucket list, its going to take a lot of time to see all I want to see. LOL
