Northern NM/Las Vegas

---

I was in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Taos this summer. I was driving on the interstate near Santa Fe and saw Las Vegas on a sign with the mileage not being very far away. I thought I must be totally messed up because there’s no way I could be that close to Las Vegas. Then I realized the reference was to Las Vegas, NM.

One stop was at the Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino outside of Santa Fe which was a really neat and massive place.



Something eventful always has to happen so at the end of my stay in Santa Fe going back to Albuquerque to catch my flight I had a flat on my rental car within about ten miles of the airport and managed to get off the freeway. I thought I was going to miss my flight but I was able to change it fast enough to get back to the rental car place and make my flight on time.

Yes, the Albuquerque airport experience wasn't bad at all and the rental car place was close to the airport and the shuttle was always on time. Being in the PreCheck program helped, too.

A couple of colleagues of mine flew in and out of Santa Fe on a puddle jumper and they said that airport was really laid back. I read where the control tower was not manned overnight.

The weather was outstanding and pleasant in Santa Fe and North to Taos, a nice break from Southern summers.

HaHa You can check your bags, go through security, and be at your gate in like 10-20 minutes at the Sun Port. No need to be there hours ahead of time. I love Northern New Mexico, I think its a hidden gem as people think New Mexico is a desert shithole. We have all 4 seasons here with very mild summers and very mild winters. The Fall around here has to be up there with the best places on earth. Heck you can ski in a tee shirt and don't need air conditioning in the summer, but at times you need a coat in July at night. 6400 ft will cool it down real nice at night.

Norther New Mexico is everything good about Colorado, Wyoming and Montana without the assholes in Colorado and the rich Pricks in the other two! New Mexico is a gem....my area of the state is West Texas without as many Texans LOL....30 miles west of us though, south to Texas and North to Colorado is some of the most beautiful areas in the US......and you can literally camp out for days on end and never hear another vehicle, let alone see any people.

Thanks! I think they have decided on Legolas Land so we will be in Carlsbad. I talked to a boat down there and they said they thought there half day trip would make. I really don't want to drive all the way to SD and I don't have time for a long range trip.....but man they are slaying the Blue Fin right now....on boat in San Diego Monday caught 42 on a full day trip with 19 fishermen....that's incredible in my experience in SD......especially on a full day $110 trip!

On the train now and it’s easy 2:1 Dawgs baby. Some phaggot from Norman tried to teach me some song so I spit in his eye.

Lots of red & black at the Atl. Some funny arse T-shirt’s.
