Well, the trip to Toronto is on hold for now, the customer is still trying to figure out whether to go digital or stick with CRT.
However, I got word today that I might be coming to Albuquerque in the next 4-6 weeks.
Anyone here in that neck of the woods? I've never been to NM, and might take an extra couple of days to check out the scenery, which is completely different than that here in the Northwest.
Hey, I know the scenery is different, I've seen the movie 'Cars'

Definitely spend more time in Santa Fe and Taos which is just North of Albq. I'll have to remember the name but there is a chain of local burger joints in the area that are good. They put lots of green chiles on the burgers.

If you have never been to the Grand Canyon, it is out of the way, but definitely worth the trip.

Theres a decent drive/ride in the mountains through an old mining town. Very popular with the Harley crowd. Wild Hogs was filmed in and around the town and in Albuquerque. Def plan to spend more time in Taos and SF, although the latter has been ruined by the tourists.

The only place in the southwest I've been to that's worse than Albacracky is Gallup. Everything from santa Fe north is nice though. Curt your welcomed to swing by for a steak dinner if your heading up through Denver area, i might even pick-up some fizzy girly drinks just for you.

Watch that left turn! It NEVER ends well...
Somewhere on a 35mm print I have a picture of my sisters car and uHaul trailer, left directional on, exiting a hotel parking lot with a great road sign "Albuquerque Next Left"
I couldn't NOT take that picture!
THAT was a long drive... 27 miles south of Boston to Phoenix in about four days. The stories I could tell!
