Today, October 14, 2019, we left Albuquerque, NM. I enjoy seeing landscape changes as we drive. Some sites are beautiful…others are quite the opposite. We stopped to “Take It Easy” for the day and night in Winslow, AZ! Of course we had to hang out “Standin’ on the Corner” for a while. 🙂 Written by… Continue reading “Take It Easy” on Route 66

A Day in Sante Fe – Oct 2019
We purposely arrived in Albuquerque a few days prior to the start of the Balloon Fiesta so that we would be able to check out Sante Fe. We considered taking the Rail Runner train from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, but decided to drive to have more flexibility. We may want to stop at Madrid (where… Continue reading A Day in Sante Fe – Oct 2019
Most Spectacular Sunset @ Horse Thief BLM Campground 9-22-19
Tonight’s sunset was the most spectacular that I recall ever experiencing. I’m sure our vast view from our campsite helped intensify it as it literally surrounded us.

We left Araby Acres Encore Park in Yuma at 8:15 am. on Friday the 13th. I drove today. It took us 4 hours 45 minutes to get to Verde Valley TT (no stops). The last 7 miles had 7 roundabouts!! I think that has to be a record for us! The park is spread out… Continue reading 9-14-19 Verde Valley TT
