Gallup looked like I remembered it but Santa Fe where I have never been before is like no other city in the US or Canada Great place to visit we planned two nights stayed a third. From there we stopped in Taos for the day driving up to see the Rio Grande gorge (second time Ive seen the Rio Grande on this trip only 10 hours to the south) stopping in to see Mabel Dodges place where a group of silver smiths rented one of the buildings from Dennis Hopper.
The drive from Taos to Eagles Nest is a must do on a MC only we were in the car good thing because when we woke up in Raton this morning it was -7 Celcius. From there we drove through a blinding snow storm for two hours into Oklahoma another very wide state and holed up in Ponca. Never heard of the place or about its history in the oil business before tonight. The local Casino had by far the cheapest room nicer then most we have stayed in , inexpensive food and beer and well $10 extra of my money just for the entertainment factor.
