Traveling Gnome

[Candleshoe]

We just got back from a trip through western Kansas, to New Mexico and then back through Colorado. Nine days, 2700 miles and tons of memories. Accompanying us was Gnomer, our nomadic gnome. Here are a few of his adventures as we chronicled them...

Four Corners. He was a hit with the long line of tourists waiting their turn to take a photo. He ended up having HIS photo taken by a lot of them.

Used to work right down the street from the Route 66 diner in Albuquerque. Good food but horrible service. By the way the drive from Kansas to Albuquerque is probably one of the worst, most boring and dangerous drives I have ever taken. Now going through Denver was actually much easier considering you had a major city as your halfway point.
