Quick Trip to Albuquerque - January 12-14, 2009

The Biologist traveled to Albuquerque for a business meeting and had a few hours after her flight got in to do some waymarking and find a geocache or two. My primarily targets were a couple of New Mexico Historical Markers and Route 66 points of interest.

I particularly enjoyed checking out the historic El Vado Motel (which is on the National Register of Historic Places) along Route 66 and the restored 66 Diner.

Found several other interesting waymarks while wandering around the city: a lovely old Convent, the Gazebo in Old Town, a U.S. Civil War Site, an Exact Replica, a Holocaust Memorial, and an enormous Artificial Climbing Wall. Not bad for just a few hours.
