Driving South to Tijeras, New Mexico

Our first stop is Allsup's.

Diesel is $2.39 a gallon

We are not picking up hitchhikers
along this stretch of road.

Madrid is one of the towns along the Turquoise Trail.  We pass by restaurants, art galleries and jewelry shops.  I look forward to touring the Turquoise Trail.

Kickin' Ass Ranch






Motorcyclists are out for a
drive on this windy, scenic
road.




I fantasize about thundering
hoof beats, a cloud of dust...
a posse chasing a pack
of bandits.






The El Ice Plant truck
is making its rounds.




Eric turned onto Bernalillo
County Route 333 East.

This is a section of the
Historic Route 66.





We turn right, just past
Zuzax Gas Mart.










We are spending four
days at Hidden Valley










The campsites are very
narrow here.

We aren't able to fully

Eric and I are set up for four days of camping, with water, sewer and electric hookups. The DirecTV dish picked up satellites for television.  There is no campground wide Wifi here.  

After two weeks of boondocking from Poland, New York to Tijeras, New Mexico, Eric will be busy with shopping, cleaning, doing laundry etc.
