Off to Albuquerque

Tour guide, are we there yet?  KW, wake up you are dreaming.  Oh no, I think it was a nightmare, not a dream.  I kept seeing mile marker after mile marker and not getting anywhere.  Well get up and get ready to leave.  Your nightmare is about to become a reality.  We have 285 miles to drive today.  Oh brother, I think I'll just roll over and go back to sleep and dream we are there already.  Hey tour guide, where are we going anyway?  We are going to Albuquerque New Mexico.  140 mile from Amarillo Texas to the New Mexico State line.  Only 145 more miles to Albuquerque.  Hey tour guide, I sure hope we don't make a wrong turn at Albuquerque.  KW, that's the Bunny's line.  Oh yeah, sorry.







Mrs tour guide, KW and CJ along with the tour guide doing some stamping.  Since last years National Parks 100th anniversary trip, the tour guide has been stamping the info sheet at each site.































Petroglyph National Monument stretches 17 miles (27 km) along Albuquerque New Mexico's West Mesa, a volcanic basalt escarpment that dominates the city's western horizon.  Authorized June 27, 1990, the 7,236 acre (29.28 km) monument is managed by the National Park Service and the City of Albuquerque.  The western boundary of the monument features a chain of dormant fissure volcanoes. Beginning in the northwest corner, Butte volcano is followed to its south by Bond, Vulcan, Black and JA Volcanoes.  There are an estimated 24,000 images carved by Ancestral pueblo peoples and early Spanish settlers.

PS:



The second new state on Route 66.  Jason, please don't ask how your mom got this picture.  Oh well, you will so I'll save you the asking.  Came off the exit for gas and potty break.  After pumping gas, I am heading to the mens room.  I pass your mom who says, I am going to walk over and get a pic of that sign.  So she walks down the street, crosses a road and walks halfway up the off ramp and takes her pic.  You had to ask.
