Albuquerque, NM Day Two


So far things have gone according to plan. We are in Albuquerque on schedule, but our next stop was to be Durango, CO. Weather, wind specifically, has us waiting an extra day before heading north. Now a review of the weather makes us think that could be put off further. A storm system is dropping snow in the Sierras to the west and it is to hit the Rockies over the weekend. That includes Durango, so we started looking west to our next stop, which was southern Utah. Weather there looks pretty good, but to get there we would go through Flagstaff, AZ which is forecasting an accumulation of 5-8” of snow Saturday and another 1-2” Sunday. We are not worried about light snow once we are in a campground, but we do not want to drive in snow or the salt that is thrown on the roads. Hmm. We need to look at the weather again tomorrow and come up with a plan.














 


Our reason for stopping in Albuquerque was to stock up at Trader Joe’s and to have lunch at a favorite restaurant in Old Town. Mission accomplished!

Tomorrow we will check out the Acoma Pueblo and Petroglyph National Monument.
