We found Santa Fe NM, to be a fairly large but tight town with pueblo style buildings some dating as far back as to the 1700s and 1800s, great historical area. The area seemed very poor though and a great deal of trash that had was not being disposed. Albuquerque is larger, nicer, with better scenery, but is also very industrialized. Amazingly it is said to have the best atmosphere in the US because it sort of sits out there by itself. We continued onto Gallup AZ trying to outrun a storm that was coming from the hurricane that hit Mexico and was looping north through the US. We left early on 10/11 trying to beat the gale wind warnings. We drove west on 40 trying to make it to Denny and Marilyn's new cabin in Heber before the worst of the storm. We were buffeted and sand blasted and dodged tumbleweeds that were flying across the highway - but the motorhome actually did pretty well in the 60+ mile per hour gusts. Stayed at Denny and Marilyn's and woke to clear and calm skies on 10/12. We took off on their ATVs to explore the national forest around them and black canyon lake.
