Wednesday, September 26 – We moved on today and are now in Albuquerque, NM. We are staying at a familiar park – Enchanted Trails RV Park. A Passport America park. Since we will be here a week, it is best to pay the weekly rate then take a PPA discount for two days. We are in site A-10, pull through, FHU 50 amp site. The sites are a bit close but fortunately we do not have anyone parked on our door side. Nothing really exciting to report about the campground.
The park is all gravel, but they do have some nice size trees scattered about. They have some historical trailers available for rent also. Appropriate since they are located on the old Route 66.
It is located at the top of the bluff on I-40. If you are ever in the area, be sure to drive to the top of the hill to see the city at night. The lights are amazing. Very beautiful city.

Looking right.
We are here to meet with some friends later this weekend. They will be volunteering at the balloon festival. We volunteered at the festival several years ago. We didn't plan on this stop soon enough to volunteer this year.
We are here to just relax and will “get out of town” before the madness of the balloon festival begins and before RV parks raise their rates.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y'all back real soon. Have a great day!
Brother and sister-in-law are doing the Route 66 thing in a car from Chicago. They should pass by any day now. Wave!

One of these days we'd like to do the balloon festival ... one of these days.
ReplyDeleteAlbuquerque is such an enjoyable place. . .have fun!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Albuquerque! Have a great time with your friends. Looks like the sun is shining:)
ReplyDeleteAlways wanted to see the balloon festival. Maybe a few more years.
ReplyDeleteLike the parking lot they call a park. We have had a few of those too.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
I've always liked Albuquerque, it's a beautiful city. I think I know the spot high up on the bluff that overlooks the city - it is a fantastic view from there.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!! We have some friends that help with the balloon festival and it looks like an amazing experience!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time there, we might be passing thru that way in November.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy our visits there too.
The balloon festival is quite the attraction. However, I really don't like to go to things that draw huge crowds. But those who do, must be well worth the trip.
ReplyDeleteWe always stay at that campground when we're there to visit the kids. We tried the one across the road but like this one better. Balloon festival - too many people - so probably won't ever go to it. We sure had fun exploring ALB though. Go to the snake place.
ReplyDeleteYou do get around. We skipped Albuquerque on our trip to New Mexico and I am sorry we did. It will have to wait 'til next time.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see the balloons but have heard it is quite congested. I think leaving town before it starts sounds like a good idea since you have seen and participated in it before.
Haven't been to the balloon festival in Albuquerque in many years. The one in Monument Valley is pretty special.
ReplyDeleteWay behind in reading blogs, would have had some great foodie tips.
