We would tie a string to the arrow and shoot it to the other side of a river, than tie a measuring chain to the string so we could measure width of river. As Paul Harvey would say now you know the rest of the story!!!.<br> We saw a farm maze along I-40 so Turned around and went back, glad we did as we had so much fun.

I began right away tearing into the platter sized inch and a half thick piece of flesh, concentrating with the ferocity of the gods. I felt good as I raced to dispose of my juicy nemesis. As the 10 minute mark passed I was confident as I was making remarkably good time. A plethora of onlookers and rubberneckers came to take pictures of the ...

... and beauty of this great city. We left Albuquerque and continued East to Amarillo for the last 4 hour portion of our drive.
