Paul,
I think we are going to do the Pagosa Springs/Sante Fe area on the way back from Moab. I'm thinking we are going to do I40 for the quickest way to ABQ. How close are you to ABQ?
I wouldn't mind checking out Cedar Crest and having a bite to eat in your town. My wife and I plan on retiring somewhere in N.M. in the next 10-15 years, so I always keep my eyes open to cities over there.
Peace.
Tom
