Another road travelled (I-40) but not as long as yesterday. Amarillo, TX to Albuquerque about 320 miles that included an up and down hill side trip.
We are now in the Mountain time zone (2 hours later) after we crossed into New Mexico. We stopped in the visitors center to a nice welcome, a cup of coffee and plenty of good advice on things to see in the state. Definitely a warmer welcome than the "Open for Business" sign in Kittery.
The first side trip was to Sandia Peak just before Albuquerque. It is 10,678 feet and included a few turns as our Garmin shows. I just wanted to do a test run with the van for Pike's Peak.
The picture really doesn't do justice to the view behind the pretty lady in the picture. By the time we got to the top, we needed our fleeces.
From this height, every view is great.
Two days ago, Tom got a call from Kirtland AFB informing us that the room rates were going up by $2.50. Little did we realize that we were getting the whole house, in a gated community too. Shortly after we checked in, Tom made sure he got in his 18 holes of golf.
