Note 32 — Chapter V · OF ACOMA, CITY OF THE MARVELLOUS ROCK, AND LAGUNA
Reading edition
New Mexico rural roads are in a certain Mark Tapleyian sense ideal for motorists.

After a rain, however, they are gummy and slippery in adobe country until the sun hardens the clay, which it does rather quickly.
