Richie wanted to start off driving so we obliged him and off we went. This made it possible to bring you this somewhat unusual post.

Richie, don't forget the two and ten hand position. Safety first...

Check out Grandpa's cool sunglasses. I think he bought them in Las Vegas. Grandpa is making a funny face like grandma but you cannot see it through is space age filtration system. This accessory helps keep the air clean so his lungs stay healthy.
We took off from Colorado this morning after eating a small breakfast. We decided to challenge ourselves by sharing our trip from the inside of our little Nissan. Yes all the images are taken from the inside of the car through a window going at least 65 mph. Check out our trip from the passenger side of our little four cylinder car. Oh another challenging aspect of this challenge is.... you may not crop any of the images taken. Are you impressed yet... I didn't think so.
Cruising behind us, grandpa puts the petal to the metal and cruses down the road. Grandma enjoyed not having to navigate for grandpa. They followed us and we followed Gabby, (the electronic lady in the GPS.) She is doing a great job.

One of the first things we saw was Ferdinand's
sweetheart a few miles outside of Cortez Colorado.

One of my favorite animals to observe in it's natural habitat are grizzly bears. This was an especially ferocious specimen running from the house.

Believe it or not we ate lunch in Cuba. Yes that's right Cuba. The image is proof. We had subs at the most incompetent subway restaurant. Won't be stopping in Cuba any time soon.

Good old black gold still runs in these here deserts. Most of the wells we saw were not working. This one was actively pumping the good stuff.

We saw many geologic features that have been undergoing the force of nature for many years.

I wanted to stop at a few of these establishments but we were anxious to arrive in Albuquerque. Maybe on the way back home.

Lots of farms along the way.

We passed through a few Indian Reservations.

Nice outcrop... you can see a few of the many bikers we saw along the way. You have to look way in the distance to see them.

I don't know about "Land of Enchantment" but I know one thing I really like chili peppers.

This formation was in a class all by itself. One of my New Mexican favorites.

I call this image "Lonely in New Mexico"

I guess you can gamble on the reservations. I guess you do not know how hard it was to get the highway sign in the image. I only had one chance. Ha!

Ferdinand's little brother....

We noticed some very interesting Churches along the way. Are they advertising religion and old trucks or what?

Ok who ever tagged this sign is cold hearted
Well this is a little of what we saw along the way. Thanks for joining us on what random things you can find between Cortex Colorado and Albuquerque New Mexico.
Good night all!
I am glad you guys are having a fun trip! I miss the days where road trips where a fun idea, maybe in a few years when the kids can join in the fun. We are wishing Richie the best! Hope he plays well and the refs are not lame.
