Am updating it daily, yes it's a lot of work but when you start hearing everybody bullshiting about where they have ridden these blogs are worth their weight in gold.

599 is a nice bypass road to avoid Santa Fe.

Add me to that list of impressed. I want to take pictures on my trips but really I take gosh awful ones.

I am kind of surprised about the gas/oil still going on out there especially between Pecos and into NM. Thought that was tapering off a little. I went that way last August '14.

Your right about being on your guard. Lots of truck traffic going off side roads and not caring who they cut off in the process.

But the reward is that road in NM...think they have some under rated roadways. Nice, 4 lane divided and fairly smooth.

Thanks for the report!!!
