best way across the continental divide

Maybe but why not V94 to Deming and San Simon, thence Cochise and
Tucson. A friend and I brought his 90hp Aircoupe back that way. Not
much out there, but no high altitudes required either, whereas V66 has
a higher altitude and longer passage. Because of the same-looking
desert and the restricted airspace I advise having a moving-map GPS to
assist navigation.

for floodwaters to abate, they eventually do. The same happens in the
absence of prayers.
