March 31/2015 Weather warm 80 and 49 low, riding through 5 to 6000 feet areas so we are dressing for it. What happens is that when you stop in a little town to walk around you can't wait to get the black leathers off! There are many TV shows, movies, series filmed in New Mexico. Breaking Bad, Longmire, Wild Hogs to name a few.
When we were at the Rally we met Beverly from Blenheim and she told us we needed to take the
Turquoise Trail if we stayed in Albuquerque. She was right :) It was a nice 50 mile ride north towards Sante Fe through little mining towns and rugged landscape. One little town we spent a few hours in was Madrid.

And did you see the movie "Wild Hogs"? There is a building in Madrid that you will
remember Maggies Diner.... but it really isn't - it sells t-shirts and
souvenirs. We thought lets get a burger here,,,, nope. Madrid is a funky, arsty place.
Some beautiful south western art, jewellery, handmade crafts in many house style galleries.

| Spirit in Art - storefront |

And we happened to have the best lunch at a quirky looking place called The Hollar. Excellent food, don't be scared off by the appearance. The fence is made of sticks.
