   Hi Gerald,  Glad to see you're still around   
   at least. I don't know if I posted this photo   
   essay to the "old west" forum, but about half   
   way down the page, on the right side, is a   
   photo I took recently - shot through the windshield   
   of my SUV while traveling about 75mph (the speed   
   limit) on IH-25, approaching Wagon Mound, NM.   
   The caption speaks to what you are referring to   
   about travel today vs travel "back then."

   Now lets hope we have somehow managed to revive   
   interest in this newsgroup!
