At daybreak, I packed up and got off that mountain down to the desert. The drive to Albuquerque was horrid in the crosswind. I'll remember the wind too.Doug Laninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579793294984734214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-66284027821862115182017-03-24T14:14:21.153-05:002017-03-24T14:14:21.153-05:00I know!!

At dawn, I went out in the cold and wind and hooked everything up, packed and got down the mountain. The drive to Albuquerque was no better with the cross winds, but as soon as I got on I-40 with a tailwind, all quieted down. I'm at a rest stop 30 miles East of Albuquerque now. Going to Tucumcari for the night. Hope the wind dies down tomorrow.Doug Laninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579793294984734214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-5523844508594375862017-03-24T14:10:35.993-05:002017-03-24T14:10:35.993-05:00

A lady came out from behind the museum and offered to call the narrator to come walk me through the General Store. It was 3 o'clock when I got there, so I declined and just walked around and took, pictures. Even went up to the cemetery.Doug Laninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12579793294984734214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-50372435117763330072017-03-24T14:01:36.182-05:002017-03-24T14:01:36.182-05:00You're welcome Jeff.

You are a good 60 miles from T or C - but the $ 150K house is 14 miles NW of Truth or Consequences NM. It sure is a funny looking place to stick that homemade sign - if that IS the house, there better be a gold mine under it ! That photo of Yuma running ahead on the scary trail - he looks like a mountain goat. So glad your trip took you out of the mist and into more oh so blue New Mexico skies. My heart is breaking. 🌞🌈🌻Moonfly13https://www.blogger.com/profile/10205504180588291323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-46724838882663874982017-03-24T07:28:03.835-05:002017-03-24T07:28:03.835-05:00A lovely drive to day we, went took that wy into C...A lovely drive to day we, went took that wy into Chloride a couple of years ago from Tor C New Mexico, looking forward to more pictures tomorrow.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-45636103576568032172017-03-24T05:26:01.561-05:002017-03-24T05:26:01.561-05:00We were very lucky when in Chloride NM a local lad...We were very lucky when in Chloride NM a local lady opened that old General Store for us. It was chocked full of old antiques from that town and area. An area fellow was in the process of re-modeling a building across the street and I think he was planning on turning it into an eatery of some kind. We were there on February 29th 2008 Chloride has a history with the Apache Indians too. Also there is a location where the towns 'hanging tree' was located. Here's a link to an aerial view of the town.... http://www.pioneerstoremuseum.com/index.htmlAl Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220245417166381981.post-5607686348445341652017-03-23T22:20:04.399-05:002017-03-23T22:20:04.399-05:00Great posts!

San Mateo Peak is really pretty. Lots of tiny little towns where you are. You should look in to that awesome historic home. At 150k, it's a real bargain!
