Fairfield Inn By Marriott Albuquerque University Area

Having failed to get to El Malpais I knew I needed to see something other than the inside of my hotel room so I made for the Petroglyph national monument. This was my first national monument of the trip to go with my 7 national parks and my 4 state parks – not that I am counting.

I found the visitor centre and a very helpful (as the...

As I drove toward Albuquerque, I had the memory of Bugs Bunny. This is where he would have always taken a wrong turn... in Albuquerque.
The "truth is stranger then fiction" part of this entry begins with my car's engine light coming on. If you've payed attention, this issue came up back in July; when I was entering Canada and took my car to...

I'm packed up and on my way early this morning but eat up a lot of time getting off the freeway to take the business loop through small Oklahoma towns hoping for one of the small cafes I prefer for breakfast. Either their cafes aren't on the main road or they don't have any. I finally find one just before I cross the border into Texas. I find lo...

It's the "reason we came day." 4 Corners. The only place in the United States where you can plant your feet on four states at one time. Ok, so we're acting like kids taking photos of our feet. But when we look around, we're not the hyper ones that are laying on the ground stretching out to touch all four states. There is a platform above the pla...

Miles so far: 3042 Tolls: 0 again! :-) Tourist traps we got suckered into: 1 Bird casualties: 1 :-( Gas so far: $340 I think After leaving Denver, we made our way to the Royal Gorge which has the highest suspension bridge in the world. Ashley and her family spoke about it which involved feeding wild deer and little shops. When we got there it wa...

As the sun rose, the train was back in Needles, and we arrived in Albuquerque an hour ahead of schedule. Walked around the town, joined the library to get internet access, and had pizza for lunch. Road the bus out to the suburbs to the motel, and ate in the room. Exchanged SMSs with Mandy at 2:30 in the morning.

We were up quite early, and quite pleased to leave El Paso behind us. While there was nothing wrong with the city really, spending another day there would have been a challenge to say the least. The Greyhound departed at 8.45, and was nice and quiet, allowing us a double seat to ourselves. It was pretty scenic too, as we were pretty much driving...
