April 14 - Albuquerque to Santa Fe






Got up and on the road in hopes of avoiding the winds which seem to pick up in the afternoons. Travel went smooth. Stopped by an RV dealer who carries Shadow Cruisers to inquire about a couple unusual things. The guy I spoke to was useless.
Ran into a service guy on the way out and he offered a couple constructive suggestions.

Made it on to Santa Fe and the campground. It’s a couple miles out of town at an elevation of 7200 feet. There’s a very nice path through the woods around the campground. We ran into a rabbit which sunny was VERY interested in…

Went to the square downtown. Saw the Loretta Chapel which has an amazing wooden spiral staircase which was mysteriously constructed without a center post or any metal fasteners. Pretty impressive woodworking. The original did not have the rail on the outside of the stairs, it was added years later. Went to the New Mexico Museum of History which was quite interesting.

I had gotten a dinner recommendation from someone at the campground for a place called the Pantry. Went there and had a great, inexpensive dinner. There were a few sprinkles of rain tonight but nothing to hinder our evening walk on the campground trail.
