Santa Fe to Moriarty 30th July 2013

The Atomic City & Wild Hogs

Los Alamos is an interesting place but controversial. 

 A relic from the high security days.

 A model of the mushroom cake that created a lot of controversy.

The town of Cerrillos on the Turquoise Trail

Madrid where some of the movie Wild Hogs was filmed.

Another lot of hired Harley's this time hired by a group of Victorian guys.

Winslow to Los Lunas 28th July 2013

Still Cruzin on 66

A quick stop at Jackrabbit.

Maurice was more interested in the 56/57 Thunderbirds.  I must admit I thought they were quite pretty myself.

Petrified wood at Geronimo

Wigman hotel at Holbrook.  Didn't stay there but it looked interesting.

Scenery near the New Mexico boarder.

Lupton shops.

We nearly hit this gigantic  masive okay it was a really big bird!

We missed him but he didn't miss us with his road kill!

We had to pick dead animal off the bike and off my pants.

Williams to Winslow 27th July 2013

There isn't much left of Route 66 in this area that you can actually ride on but we did manage to get a few glimpses of what it use to be like.

Twin Arrows

Two Guns

Meteor City

Well, I'm a standing on a corner 
in Winslow, Arizona 
and such a fine sight to see 
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed 
Ford slowin' down to take a look at me
