SW Tour - Headed West

The brick red adobe beauty of Santa Fe and a one day trip to Taos are behind us - the grandure of 500 hot air balloons a vivid memory - and we can imagine the salt air.  That is several days away, of course.  We made the New Mexico border today.  We are staying in a completely adequate Gallup NM RV park, and planning to leave early to keep the sun behind us, expecting to make Flagstaff before the sun passes us.  As has happened a couple of times we revisited a restaurant in Gallup we were pleased with on our way east - Jerry's Mexican-American Restaurant - meals with green chili have elevated in our couisine during this trip.

 We've been a 60 mph impediment on 75 mph Highway 40 since Albuquerque, and will continue to do so to Flagstaff.  From there we understand there are more sections of Route 66 available.  If they are as rough as a section we took east of Flagstaff we may return to 40.

Retired, on the road, and loving it.
