you can’t always get what you want!
Spent about 90 minutes this afternoon on I-40 downtown Albuquerque waiting….and waiting and waiting for traffic to move. Apparently there was a car accident… and right about rush hour! It’s been years since I have had an experience like this…I did learn that Albuquerque has right at 600k population and the area population is 970+k… bigger than I thought…my goodness it took me a long time to get through town!
HROTers…Beware of traffic snarls next time in Albuquerque!
After wading thru the mess for about 3 miles… the ambulances were on the othersue of the road cleaning up!

ABQ is great. Lock your car. Go to the Dog House Drive in. Get some green chili. Did I say lock your car.

I'd love to try that place. But I have no reason to go to NM. Alaska is on my bucket list before Meth - land.
I drove from QC->KC->OKC->ABQ last year and went to all the BB places in ABQ. Downtown to the statue, walts house, jimmys office, car wash, los pollos.. was a blast. /csb

I have to admit. That would be fun.

The White house was selling for some crazy amount of money last time I heard. Not exactly a nice house. But I suppose there is is money to be made

Breaking bad tour was fun but Sandia Tram I would recommend to anyone. Longest one in the world. You can see forever from all sides. Gotta be one of the most scenic places in the US

I have run 40 thru there multiple times and it seems like you have to expect delays. Lots of speed racers running around, plenty of local traffic getting on and off, big hills, etc…
