In late November it was time to return to Albuquerque, New Mexico to retrieve our vehicles from storage and get out to camp somewhere for the weekend.
Day 1 Thursday – A quick flight from Houston to Albuquerque on a Thursday night followed by an Uber ride to our storage lot and we were ready to get to a spot to sleep for the night. Eduardo had found a casino right outside of town that had a 24hr restaurant and plenty of parking so we headed there. We had a quick bite inside the casino and then made our way to our vehicles to get some sleep.
Day 2 Friday – The next morning we got on the road headed toward Jemez Springs, New Mexico and stopped at Kris + Kat’s restaurant located in Jemez Pueblo for quick burrito along the way. If you need firewood be sure to stop at Walatowa Timber Industries in Jemez Pueblo, they have a really nice burning fir firewood sold by the cubic foot so we loaded up as much as we could. We would end up using this batch of wood for the next two trips with great success. Be sure to take advantage of the gas station to top off your fuel as you leave Jemez Pueblo. It is always good to make sure you are topped off when headed into an area you have never been before or when you need a specific fuel such as diesel as not all gas stations carry it.
