Over to Albuquerque

Today we drove from Gallup to Albuquerque, following the old 66 route much of the way. It is such a pleasure when we can get away from the interstate!

Part of what we went through was a winding rock-lined road that included "dead man's curve." It was totally lovely, and seemed perfectly save to us now.

This is the fourth time we have cross the continental divide.

Tomorrow we expect to head back south, to White Sands, which Connie's son Paul thinks we will really enjoy. We are free to take some new routes, because we have covered nearly all of 66 out to the Painted Desert, with the exception of a section near Kansas that we skipped in order to see Fayetteville Arkansas, where my parents met.
