The 2006 Travels of Richard n Shirley

We took this trip this morning and we were very disappointed. There were three towns to see. The first one, Cerillos, was really run down. The tourist area was closed and looked pretty bad. We drove thru and left.

The next town, Madrid, was where all the "artist" lived and was a jumping. People everywhere, crowded, and no place to really park. The tourist area is right on the highway. We drove slowly and left town.



The next town is Golden. It was alot "vacant". Not very many people and very little for a tourist to see or do and most of all, spend money.

But it had something that the other towns did not have. Something to take a pic of. Here is a town that mined for gold in the past and has lots of buildings that have fallen in or are beyond repair. Then there was the house of nic nacks, lots of nic nacks. I took these pics of it for your enjoyment.



We will try another byway trip later but tomorrow its Santa Fe to tour. I know there will be pics to take, I've been there before.

For this trip, its a PASS.

Temp: 90 and windy.
