My visit to Colorado Springs is over and my job at Peterson AFB is done. It was a satisfying stay. I wish I could say the same for my drive home!
My collegues and I outbriefed the medical group commander on Friday morning and within an hour, I was on the road home. Of course, I had to take a detour to “El Taco Rey” for my tamales (which were still warm after 5 hours on the road). From the Springs to Raton, NM, the drive was pretty uneventful. From Raton to Sante Fe, the wind was incredible! I felt like it was going to flip my Jeep a couple of times. I was forced to reduce speed and turn into the wind to stop the shaking. In fact, in the northbound lane, just outside of Las Vagas, NM, a semi-truck and trailor had jack-knifed. That couldn’ve easily been me…or worse!
Anyway, I’m home now and was glad to see my lovely wife. We had tamales for dinner!
