Who’s ready to ride an Alpine Coaster!?!?
Today, we’re at the longest Alpine (or mountain) coaster in North America.
We first experienced one of these while in Austria, and are stoked to experience one in America!
Outlaw Mountain Coaster!
Casa Bonita – Taste the Magic of Mexico!
South Park fans might get a kick out of this one…
If you have no idea what we’re talking about check out episode 11 of season 7.
Garden of The Gods… and a Beetle.
We’re in Colorado!!
Specifically, Garden Springs!
And the weather is…. TERRIBLE!
But that’s okay… We’re still going to push through our plans to keep on schedule, and first up is the World’s Largest Beetle!!
World’s Largest Beetle
Doesn’t look that impressive?
Well how about now!!?!
Alright… I guess it is just a beetle on the side of the road, and it’s cold… so we’ll continue on.
Our next stop?
Garden of The Gods
It’s a little anticlimactic…
We think there’s supposed to be something there…
At least the visitor center is nice!
Being literally the only ones in here, the friendly park volunteers chat with us and share that the balancing rock may have decent visibility.
That’s where we’re headed!!
Balancing Rock
The drive into the park looks pretty grim…
Just as we reach the rock, the fog clears!!… a little bit.
WHAT!?
There’s no one holding the rock!!
Quick! Before it falls!!

Mission accomplished! The rock survives another day!!
Visiting Friends: A Thing Called Meow Wolf
Today we’re spending time with some (somewhat) recently made friends.
Meet ‘n Greet
Greg and Demante are the only must see attractions for us in this city, which is best known for its TV series about the manufacturing and distribution of Meth! (any Breaking Bad fans out there?)
Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires
Has anyone ever wondered where Smokey went?
Well… he’s dead.
White Sands: A Beach Without An Ocean
Surfs up!
Kinda…
White sands is the largest gypsum dunefield in the world! It’s sands engulf 275 square miles of New Mexico’s desert.
The sand is thought to be what’s left behind from the evaporation of a great ocean about 70 million years ago!
On the Road: Day 17 – In Arizona
Arizona has been great, but it’s time to hit the road and head to New Mexico! We imagine this drive to be pretty desolate and flat, so hopefully we can hit that cruise control and cover some serious miles!
Four Places At Once!
Most people would love the ability to be two places at once. Today we’re going to be in four!
Looking online, there’s doesn’t seem to be much to the Four Corners monument, but we’re still excited for the opportunity to visit such a unique location.
