Oh wow. Never seen that before. Looks interesting, but it does not seem as passionate as the other one above. But maybe I need to watch it some more times to see.

To fully feel this, you have to listen to or watch the Route 66 song by John Mayer and read the lyrics. Watch for 2:11, where you see "Don't forget Winona..."

After Gallup, a short 30 minutes drive and I was in Arizona. I stopped at the Petrified Forest National Park. It was nice but did not give me the wow factor. So, I did not stay there long. And for the $20 fee they charge to go in, I would strongly recommend you purchase the annual pass I have...

Today I drove from Albuquerque to Flagstaff, AZ. Great drive and made many stops at some great Route 66 attractions. Major Route 66 cities and attractions... Great little town of Gallup. There is a Flea market on every Saturday that I did not know off, but the locals told me. So, I was in luck...

Took a trip to Santa Fe today. Got to walk around and saw all the old churches and the plaza. First, the Loretto Chapel with the miraculous stairway. Quite cool to look at and hear the history. Got to sit in the cockpit of a BlackHawk

Went to Sandria Tram this evening. Very nice views up there. Definitely got that scratched off my bucket list. It was scary up there, but an exciting 15 minutes ride up to about 10,000ft high. Leaving the visitor's center, going high up. Getting scarier with every ascend Pic from the top

The owner cutting up some bbq My plate. Great tasting bbq.

I left Cloudcroft, NM to Albuquerque today. Before I left, I had to spend an extra 3 hours to basically do some other basic attractions just to wait so that the popular bbq joint in town should open. As a bbq connoisseur, I just had to wait to eat some of this bbq that I had read so much about...

That is very interesting. I never knew that. Well, if they finally leave it will really affect the economy of that little town.

Next was the White Sands National Monument. Very interesting story about its formation. Watched a 17 minutes video in the visitor center and then it was time to hit the trails. Stepped out of the visitor center and was greeted by these swallows who were basically at arms reach, just chirping...

Museum of Space History This is the chimp being fitted into his capsule for his voyage. And that is the actual suit he wore for the voyage. He passed away of natural causes and this is where he was buried. I guess because he was a great part to our space history. And this is a space...

Next stop McGinn's Pistachioland. Where they grow their own and also grow grapes and make their own wine. I took a tour and it was short and informative. Little did I know that they have 1 male pistachio tree to fertilize 20 female pistachio trees. If I remember well, she said when it is mating...

Today drove from Carlsbad to Alamogordo. Halfway into the journey, I get into the Lincoln National Forest. Great hilly and winding road. So steep they have ramps for 18 wheelers if they have any brake failure. It must be common to see them lose her brakes on this hill for they stay on their...

And some interesting facts. A few of the pictures I took that tell a great story about it all.

Just got back from a 3 hours round trip to Roswell, NM to see the alien museum for the first time. A very smooth and great drive. The museum is quite small and almost not noticeable, but the information inside is quite interesting. I really don't know if this thing is true or not that it...

Great story.

My drive today was a total of 11 hours. Freeway was light and the few cars I met on the long stretch of I-10 were pretty much in a real hurry. But the drive was well. I got to Carlsbad and checked in at hotel and went straight to the Caverns. Got in free because I already have the pass. I...
