We are waking in the Hilton Garden Inn in Albuquerque, New Mexico today before traveling to the airport for our flight home to Georgia. I’ll post photos of our time in New Mexico later today. We enjoyed the Sandia Tramway ride to the peak overlooking Albuquerque, where we saw some breathtaking views and did a couple of bird counts as well.


We made it home safely after a week on Route 66 – even left our cooler by an ice machine in an Albuquerque hotel and invited someone to give it a new life and send us a picture of its next chapter.
We arrived home completely tired, and look forward to our time around the campfire during this week’s holidays so that we can talk about our experiences and our favorite moments. I’ll be sharing those as we get our Eastern Standard Time Zone bearings back in alignment.
ChroNICle#3 for Nick – There’s a place somewhere near Albuquerque that plays America The Beautiful if you drive along the teeth of the roadway. We missed that, but we saw it on Tik Tok. Don’t miss the experience of hearing it like we did. When we start leg #2 in California and drive back to Albuquerque, we will find out where this is and drive on the teeth on the very end of our Route 66 adventure, coming sometime in the next year!
