I'll be putting up pictures of my "new" service truck sometime this week. I've been so busy playing catch-up (I was only gone for two days) that I haven't even had a chance to transfer the tools from the old one yet....
New Mexico (well, the North Central to North East corner anyway) isn't anything to write home about. The last 100 miles or so before Colorado is better (Raton area) but the Albuquerque area is pretty high-altitude desert really.
I was stuck driving 60-62 MPH for the majority of the trip due to a seized fan clutch. The belt would start squealing if I went higher than 2300 RPM. The drive from Pueblo to Fort Collins, CO was REALLY slow. 45 MPH pretty much the whole way due to sheer-ice roads, blowing snow, and severely limited visibility (25-30 MPH tops there).
Thanks for asking. I love driving and seeing new country.
