We left Amarillo TX. elev. 3670' today heading for Santa Fe N.M. elev. 7095'. We had planned on going further West on I40 but there are too many fires along that route. We did all highway driving on I40 to Hwy. 285 into Santa Fe. While here we made a day trip to down the Turquoise Trail to Madrid where they filmed the Wild Hogs movie with John Travolta. Interesting little town that time forgot, everyone there looked like 60's hippies or old gold prospectors. After that we went on to Albuquerque. It had a nice old town area with the local Navajo Indians selling their wares. We walked all over the town. The next day we visited the Santa Fe. Old Town Plaza area, shopped saw the big Cathedral, ate lunch at a really cool old hotel "La Fromage". We really liked Santa Fe, the Old Town was nice and clean.
Interstate I25 is closed from Raton N.M. to Trinidad Co.
