El Paso Day 2. We drove over the Franklin Mountains from Las Cruces to El Paso. Then we drove around a little in El Paso, visited the former Gibson’s. Where there used to be a simple (but huge) supermarket, there is now another outlet store. Around noon we tried to get into Fort Bliss. The […]

El Paso Day. First to the Cielo Vista Mall. Unfortunately, the Garmin fails again completely. Turn right where there is nothing. There I have the thing first of all shot from the dashboard … N-A-V-I-G-O-N forever! Manually it also finds itself. Everything has changed completely. The many small stalls inside the mall didn’t exist back then. […]

Finally it goes in the direction of “old home”. I’m curious what has changed so much. But before that from Alamogordo to Carlsbad to the Carlsbad Caverns. The cave is known worldwide and very nicely developed in a typical American way. Paths lead down through the natural entrance and down through the cave. After Carlsbad, […]

From Alamogordo today we will make a round trip to old familiar places. On the program are Inn of the Mountain Gods, Ruidoso, Sierra Blanca, Cloudcroft and again White Sands. First to the former quiet golf hotel Inn of the Mountain Gods. At the time, it was a well-visited but still nice facility in the […]

The 13th? An unlucky day? Yes, in a sense you can say that. After checking out in Santa Fe we want to drive to the Kasha Katuwe Tent Rocks. In Chochiti Pueblo we are held up by road works. The man with the stop sign, a real Chochiti, asks where to go. Tent Rocks? No, […]

Today is meant for relaxing and shopping in Santa Fe. In the morning to a fairly large outlet mall. Some of the brand names have their factory outlets here. Whether at Van Heusen, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Nike or others, you can leave quite a bit of money. Is also tempting, if at a good […]

We now leave Durango and with it Colorado behind us. We continue to Santa Fe and on our way to Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness. The Bisti/De-Na-Zin National Park is rather less known. Unjustly as it seems to me. It offers a bizarre landscape that needs to be explored on foot. But one after the other… After Farmington […]

Today, a day trip to Mesa Verde is on the agenda. The Anazasi Cliff Dwellings there are among the largest of their kind. A bit quieter than planned, the only way leads on foot to the Spruce House. The Mesa Top View loop is done by car. The back thanks it. In the evening I […]

Today we will go from Moab to Durango. For the 320 miles we will probably need about 8.5 hours. First stop is Cisco Ghosttown. Here we were 30 years ago looking for gasoline for the motorhome. At that time it was not yet a ghost town and there was a gas station, but it was […]

Today is Canyonlands and Arches National Park announced. The plan is to go first to Dead Horse Point State Park, then to Canyonlands National Park and in the afternoon from 2 pm to Arches National Park. So there is enough time for everything. Far from it, as it turns out later. Dead Horse Point is […]
