Summary

This was a fun trip and requires no lifts or aggressive tires. There are plenty of refueling stops along the way and you can make your days as long as you want. We saw quite a bit of NM and some parts of AZ by veering on/off the NMBDR trail. We also had great weather during the entire trip for which I'm very appreciative.

Part III of this trip will start at Youngsville, NM in the near future. I bet we can finish it off in one weekend if we start Fri night after work.

Total miles door to door - 989 miles
Fuel cost - $230
Avg speed - 8 mph

Thanks for sharing some pictures. You guys are definitely into "glamping"... the coffee shops, margaritas, wal-marts, etc would be culture shock for me. I'll have to keep this in mind if/when I consider joining future trips.

I'm glad your photos of the hot springs didn't include any naked hippies.

Yeah, we may not be your cup of tea We left backpacking mindset couple of decades ago and now carry the kitchen sink with us, it appears.

Wait, are you calling me a hippie?

If you had included photos of yourself naked in the hot spring then I may have.

You guys have afternoon tea, too??? I'm far from the backpacking mindset... unless I happen to be backpacking... I travel with three ladies, you know? But I'm definitely still of the hotdogs and beer mindset around the campfire. I might get fancy and make a rum and coke, or steak & beans on the coals.

Your extravagances wouldn't bother me, they'd just provide me with a few laughs.
