Hi everyone, welcome back to Part II of our summer travels in New Mexico. This chapter will be centric to our adventures in and around the famous Route 66 in Eastern New Mexico and a brief stay in Amarillo Texas.  We traveled on snippets of Route 66 when we were at Gallup and Grants in…

Welcome back to “ALWAYSONTHEFLY”. Deb and I made the decision early in our planning process that we were going to do something different this year. We spent the summer in New Mexico, using Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque as a launch pad for our travels. This season’s blogs will capture the daily adventures we…

  Yes, we are back! Actually, we never left but got very complacent in posting updates on our Travel Blog and providing any information about our travels in the past year.  Before we dive onto our sixth season of RV travel, we want to get you caught up and share this year’s adventures We are…

Here we are in 2021, beginning our 5th season of being on the road and once again back to the “Land of Enchantment.” Last year we spent nearly 3 months in Albuquerque and became quite familiar with its surroundings.

With fresh memories of Cathedral Valley and Capitol Reef National Park still lingering, we were off to Wyoming and Idaho. Our drive on Utah Hwy 24 west took us through Loa, Sigurd then joined Utah Hwy 118 which passed I-70 near Salina where we took US Hwy 50 West near the community of Scipio &…

After our extended stay at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque for over three months, Deb and I were chomping at the bit to get back on the road. Our plans to see more of New Mexico were put on hold as the COVID pandemic still had many state parks and ACOE (Army Corps of Engineer) campgrounds…

Deb and I were back on the road on the 8th of March, destination Alamogordo New Mexico so I could connect with an old friend and shipmate, Bob Conklin to participate in the Bataan Memorial Death March. Our trip to Holloman AFB was dampened by on and off showers. We arrived late in the day…
