Albuquerque – Spelling It Is the Easy Part
This is a top pick! ... to do another 12 miles. Nothing for it though and so we set off. 8 miles downhill into town were a lovely bonus, but Albuquerque’s aggressive rush hour drivers were not. We headed into Macdonalds for iced smoothie number 2 and found out that it was ...
Shade, Swim, Snooze (and really big Pizzas)
This is a top pick! ... was the time to stop. The bikes needed some serious attention and it felt like our bodies were also in need of patching up. Albuquerque KOA Kampground may not be in one of the nicest areas of our trip (again it is plonked next to the freeway and in ...
Santa Fe Must Wait
This is a top pick! ... take the bus into town, and we were glad we did. The bus was full of mad people and was a really good look into Albuquerque off the tourist trail. One guy in particular did a lot of talking to himself and was trying his hardest to get another ...
Albuquerque, NM to Winslow, AZ
This is a top pick! Yesterday, after we finished at REI, we were going to stop at the Fourbucks around the corner (stay with me, there's a point to this...) but decided to go to Wild Oats and get some non-freeze dried foods since we now know the fridge is working very well ...
Amarillo, TX to Albuquerque, NM
This is a top pick! Up early and on our way to Albuquerque, which wasn't a bad drive at all... in fact we got in early, checked into the Enchanted Trails campground (less pomp & circumstance than the other three at the exit we stopped at) and had time to drive down Route 66 ...
Your ego is not your amigo
This is a top pick! ... ; and the best one, “Your ego is not your amigo’. We love it here and think they are quirky in Albuquerque. Clearly, they are also wise. We had a microwave extravaganza for dinner in the reception of the Super 8. We have done ...
Not leaving Albuquerque yet!
... we don't want to leave. Chris is still in FL and I have until Again, we homeschooled in the morning and left for the Albuquerque Zoo after lunch time. Stevie, the oldest son of our Alaskan friends, was our tour guide around the zoo today. The kids had ...
The Art Scene

We're missing Chris and off to Explore! some more!
This is the first time the boys and I have been on our own. Chris is in St. Pete, FL getting ready for Home Shopping on Sunday. Today, we set out early for Explore!, the kid's science museum again in the Old Town area. Keegan and Collin started their ...
Pueblo Indian Ruins in New Mexico
Today we went to some Puebleo Indian Missions. One was lived in for over 800 years. It was built 1300A.D. One was only lived in for 50 years and is still standing even though the women made it. The ...
Albuquerque
... degrees, with a nice breeze blowing, and fresh fresh air. At the top, you could see views all 360 degrees. One side looks out to Albuquerque, and the other, Santa Fe. On the Santa Fe side they have a ski slope. They have the ski lift going round trip, and ...
I Can Finally Spell Albuquerque!
... that was recommended to us in a guide was at The Candy Lady, where they make dozens of different types of chocolate deliciousness. If you're ever in Albuquerque, it is definitely worth a stop. Their chocolate covered rice crispy treats are really awesome! ...
Happy Birthday Dom
... point as many of the Route 66 interests have been destroyed or probably should be they are so decrepid. As you approach Albuquerque you leave the Colorado Plateau which you have been on since mid-Arizona and descend into the Rio Grande Valley. We ...
A brief stop for a rest and to see a friend.
I stopped off for a while to get a break from driving and to visit my old friend and neighbor in Albuquerque. As the mountains started to come into view I knew that my trip was really beginning. The views from driving are pretty stunning, and ...
HAPPY EASTER FROM ALBUQUERQUE!
... selected some of the best to show you(see pics). Of course, Keegan and Collin headed for the playground to see their best Albuquerque friends when we got back to the RV. We had a lovely spaghetti dinner with our camping friends from Alaska and the ...
Watermelons for mountains
... of them descendents of the Ancient Puebloans of southwestern Colorado, communities dating back close to 2000 years ago. As I drove out of Albuquerque, I looked back to be blown away with one of the most memorable moments on my trip: the setting sun's ...
A Subconcious Predisposition for Unpaved Motorways
... consisted of rather wide roads at least somewhat passable as 2 lane roads. However, on this fateful trip back through Albuquerque I found myself facing down a road more suited for a dirt bike, or... hiking boots. In reality it wasn't all ...
Getting kicks...
... to LA and is the stuff of legends. We touched it before in Williams on the way to the Grand Canyon and now here in Albuquerque it runs right through the city, along Central Avenue. The first time we drove down it here, to be honest it looked ...
All Settled in Albuquerque for a couple of nights!
About a four and a half hour drive today, plus the loss of one hour due to time zone change, and we pulled into Enchanted Trails Rv Park and Trading Post. This was actually a trading post along route 66 built back in the forties, and ...
10,000 feet in the air - above Albuquerque
... pair of shoes. We went back to the motor home at about 8:30pm - which makes it 10:30 in Ohio! We really like Albuquerque. We were going to stay here one day. We have been here 3 days already. We are behind schedule. I ...
ALBURQUERQUE TO THE PAINTED DESERT
Still continuing west on the renamed route 66 we stopped at Alburquerque for the night. The drive from Amarillo had taken it out of Terry and Dave a bit because of the strong winds, we even had a bit of a dust storm. Imagine our delight when we arrived ...
On the way to Albuquerque
We ended up leaving Westgate at around 2 and straight away went to a Chinese buffet (Emperor's Wok) which was great....Karan bhaaji and I stole some cookies from there and Kunal bhaaji was happy with his saabu daane ki kheer.... We still wanted to ...
Day 10: Amarillo Lunch & Albuquerque (for 1 hour)
... Amarillo, and Texas, shortly after our curtain call BBQ lunch in the doo-doo crusted Westgate Mall. We decided to detour into Albuquerque for sanity's sake, because seriously if you think Texas is empty, New Mexico is the King of open space. Don't get ...
Hot Air
Waking up this morning felt like an accomplishment, particularly since just prior to hitting the hay, Maribeth noted that the Hotel Blue "was the kind of place that people die in, if they were in a movie. You know, from doing drugs. But we won't ...
Point me in the direction of Albuquerque
... the olden days. So what seemed like an eternity later we finally started driving through the Sandia Mountains and approached Albuquerque. Absolutely a sight to see.... quite frankly we were busy looking at the scenery when a rock came blasting towards ...
