One of the first matters you will notice about the exciting place is apparently there is a Drinking Problem in the Land of Milk and Honey!

If you can believe it I think I saw one of these signs every 10 miles!

All right that’s IT!  I just entered into a state that “claims” to be The Land of Enchantment but now I find out that I will be surrounded by drunks driving in Zero Visibility!  What the #e!! am I doing here?

It’s time for me to pull over and review other potential travel options!

After a careful review it was determined that this was the only viable option at the time so onward we go!  At any moment I am expecting to lost total sight and be hit by a drunk driver!

Now while in the “Safety Corridor” you will be crossing the Continental Divide…Who would want some rattlesnake eggs from this place!  After all remember – You are in the “Safety Corridor” it’s ok!





Get some fuel too



A change of tires too!



We are here

This is what the Land of Enchantment looks like in the middle of the day!  I think we are approaching that Zero Visibility!
