Made it to Albuquerque so far!

At a rest stop in CA.
At a rest stop in AZ.
The Route 66 Casino in NM.
Best. Souvenir. Ever.

After 2 short days on the road, I'm in a hotel in Albuquerque, NM. Today I head north on I-25 for Denver! WooHoo!!!

I have to say this road trip is the best thing that I've done in a while! No drama, just a nice relaxing trip through 4 states over 3 days. And my old VW Bus is doing great!

UPDATE 2/14/05

I made it! Some slight drama but nothing horrible. Raton pass was a biatch. 35 was as fast as I could get. Poor old bus... heh

Denver. Company is opening a new data center there. I'm driving out, staying in a hotel for 3 weeks while looking for a place to live, then flying home to get the family...
 
I live in ABQ. Nice place, as long as you don't get mugged. Just stay off Central at night and you'll be good 😀
 
Love that AZ rest stop. I need to get to the southwest sometime in my life. 🙂
 
Good for you! I made the road trip from DC to Seattle in my car, coolest thing i have ever done. Every guy needs to do a big road trip.
 
I did kinda what you are doing, but backwards. And I started in Chicago. And ended in LA. So in closing, it was completely different.

whatever happened to those stoners in Cali, did that guy ever fix their bus?

They got running, and ended up with like $300 in donations from The Samba forum members.

They did get home, I confirmed that with someone from their church, but that's all we've heard. They never checked in and the phone numbers I have for them and the guy from their church are all dead now. 🙁
