Continental Divide, New Mexico
The continental divide is an imaginary line that crosses the United States from north to south. To the east of this line, all waters flow to the Atlantic, while to the west the water seeks its way to the Pacific. Most of the watershed follows the ridge of the Rocky Mountains. It begins in Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska, and runs east into the Canadian Territory of Yukon and then south into British Columbia, where it forms the border with the province of Alberta. It then runs through Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico in the United States to Mexico and Central America along the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range. This line is crossed here, which is not the highest point on Route 66, as it is between Bellemont and Parks in Arizona. Of course, various trading posts should not be missing, because where many tourists stopped anyway, good business could be done in the early years. A total of three trading posts vied for the attention of tourists: Great Divide Trading Company, Continental Trading Post and the Top Of The World Hotel & Café.

Hi, do you sometimes look for a little thrill after work? I was recently thinking about how I could earn some extra money to pay my bills. After a few unsuccessful attempts, I tried the Book of Ra online casino at bookofra-slot.org. At first, I was skeptical, but then things changed – I finally won, and quite a lot at that! I was thrilled, and what I especially like is that German players get special offers and exclusive bonus promotions there.
