Route 66: Day 4 – On a Clear Day, You can See Forever
By JamesW on May 14, 2008 in Travel Blog
We left the KOA relatively early, before the management sent out the doggie violation detective (just kidding of course – we always bag our doggie’s dodo having ourselves been well trained in a big city environment). Having been away from a big city for all of 3 days we decided to get our city fix in Albuquerque by stopping at their local CostCo to fill a few prescriptions, and buy a few food items (eggs were still $!.29 a dozen! Remember those days!). I love the big parking lots. Also, right next door, a Home Depot. I went into replenish my supply of velcro (I love the stuff. I don’t know how any RVer exists without it). From there we kept the journey short (still tired from our escape from LA I think), and make it to a nice New Mexico State Park in Santa Rosa. The park is about 9 miles off the 40 interstate, but it seems you are in the middle of nowhere. It was very quiet, uncrowded, and a bargain for $14/night (electric only). In the middle of the night, we were bombarded by hail stones, then a downpour of rain until dawn. We slept in kinda late again (lingering LA fatique?), and headed out for the grand state of Texas mid-morning.
