Two travel days on Route 66

September 10 we traveled from the campsite near Flagstaff AZ to about 8 miles outside Albuquerque NM.  The campground there was called Enchanted Trails and was all decked out in the Route 66 theme.  They had RV's you could rent to sleep in for the night if you did not have an RV. 

Glen went to the nearest Casino to play (he had to uber there and back) while I relaxed in the RV by myself.  I think I got the better deal.  I even found a few TV stations to watch, NO Monday Night Football though:(

Today September 11, we continued the journey on Route 66 in Arizona and then New Mexico.  Glen loved all the memorabilia along the way and stopped to take a closer look....and pics of course. 

We also got to sample some tacos and breakfast burritos at a chicken stand in Albuquerque.  Daughter, Katie, had worked in Albuquerque quite a lot a few years ago when she traveled around the country.  She recommended a breakfast burrito to her father and that was all it took...we were off in search of Golden Pride drive through.  It was quite good and worth trouble to find it.

At the intersection of Route 66 and MN Hwy 285 there was a must see rest stop/gas station and tourist trap gift shop.  Glen bought a few gifts for the grandkids and then we headed south on 285 towards Carlsbad Caverns. 

Tomorrow we check them out up close.  830 feet down in the dark.  Sounds like an adventure!

Best breakfast burrito in Albuquerque

Breakfast in Winslow AZ. It was full of cowboys,  jus like Glen was hoping for.

Here we are standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona. Glen has his thumb up for a ride from that girl in the flatbed Ford. He is still waiting to see her and we are in MN now.  Haha!


RV's to rent for the night at our campground.
