Rural New Mexico: The Road Goes On Forever

We were somewhere north of Deming, New Mexico, when we stopped along the side of the road to take pictures of the Nothing, as we came to describe the vast acres of desolate land with only scrub brush to keep the sandy soil from blowing away in the end. This backroad was rural enough not to have much traffic, so we walked into the middle and took a picture of the road as it continued straight to the horizon. In my mind, it's a symbol of the entire road trip, where for 4,000 miles, the road went on forever.
