This is Darrell's 1974 Chevy Nova.


The Nova says "Sorry, I let you down guys. I really wanted to go on this trip. I know you had fun without me. "








Sandy's Mochatini...................yummy

Las Vegas, NM


Last overnight stop before Denver. Dined at Dick's Restaurant in the historic area downtown.





Santa Fe, NM




Toured this city just to see the art work. Very beautiful and would like to re-visit when more time is available.












Albuquerque, NM



Red Ball Cafe - Home of the Wimpy Burger
Delicious! We saw Popeye and Olive Oyl hanging around too.

Darrell is back on the road again heading to Albuquerque, NM.

Next challenge - find a Wimpy burger for lunch.









Grants, NM



We spent the night here and enjoyed dinner with brother Jon . Jon is working here on a uranium clean-up project by the EPA. Belinda held a rock sample with uranium so Jon could show the level of radiation with the geiger meter. Yikes, could be glowing in the dark tonight!



We stopped at Jon's office for a tour. I can assure you this was a primitive place and no tax dollars were being wasted! Check out that paneling.
