Damn, I just learned NM does not honor Louisiana permits. Neither does CA nor OR. I almost started thinking about getting a permit, but what's the use.
OK, so far I have learned:
CO allows loaded guns, but not concealed.
NV and NM allow unloaded guns in a locked compartment.
Oftentimes the best rides are the ones without too much planning. Or too many people.

…one of last times I rode with somebody was in 2017 when I was on my way to Alaska… I had just crossed the border from British Columbia into the Yukon, found a restaurant and was having an early lunch … It was a Wet day… I was sitting beside the fireplace, eating food and warming up and started chatting with a woman that was sitting at the next table… she was by herself… I could see that she wasn’t comfortable travelling alone and asked her if she would like to ride with me into Whitehorse which was three or four hours away…
… I told her that I’m not comfortable having anyone close to me, especially in animal country… And asked her to stay at my 6 o’clock, but that I would check my mirrors often to make sure I can see her… We stopped once to have a cuppa coffee at Teslin to get gas and then rode on to Whitehorse…
… A couple of miles before Whitehorse, I waved her in front of me… And then pulled over so i could take off my rain gear … Never saw her again… I have done that several times with women who are not totally comfortable with being in the wilds by themselves…
… I have put on 100,000+ miles in the last 10 years and less than a 1000 of it has been with anyone…
This is the way I like it … all alone on the loneliest highway… Hwy 50, Nevada…
My youngest brother Shawn and I click real well as traveling partners, our single days it was mad fun. Picking him and the last middle brother up in SFO in few weeks and we're doing the Geezers Tour in my truck going east, Mikes only got a week some we’ll stick him on a plane in Denver and looks like I'm driving Shawn back to WV. Another 3-4 cross country adventure, couldn't work the logistics to take the bike on this one. That's ok, couple rumors of old barn find bikes think I'll poke a little into, see if it's real or the usual myth. Found this digging through some old boxes. 86 Colorado trip when the pinion shaft snapped in Shawns bike. Crazy story, knew people in C Springs, some calls a few crazy favors in return and I redid the lower end and we were at the bar 2 days later. Rode that thing back to the East Coast a few years more on backyard rebuild.
Looking at the news ... the worst case scenario materializes in my mind.
We will get an anti-fracking pro-price-control president (It's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count votes. – Stalin). This will inevitably lead into shortages similar or worse to Nixon Shock. Meaning all my planning is moot. I will sit at home trying to save gas for my lawnmower (we get snakes in the house here if the grass is not cut).
I was once driving in Soviet Russia, for over 300 km there was no gas. Gas stations were scarce, I remember the growing anxiety when I saw one after another bone dry, locked up, lights out. I wasn't here when Nixon Shock occurred, here's a picture I found.
Maybe if you eat in a cheap diner and get the chimichangas.
They have pretty high gas prices.
Per Mexico Daily News....
Taxes on gasoline in Mexico are five times higher than in the United States, making fuel at least 60% more expensive, according to an analysis by newspaper El Economista.
