The Albatross
Thursday 25 April 2024
Ever since we knew we were heading south a part of me has eyed Albuquerque on the map, solely because of Bugs Bunny. There isn’t much to see there, so the hundreds of miles of extra travel really wasn't worth it. So instead, we headed the opposite direction on the I-10 to the town of Joshua tree. Not the most exciting of drives, but still interesting as the desert slowly changes. Also appearing where humongous fields of solar panels. A pretty good use for land that isn’t farmable, but the scale was epic.
The road is very fast and full of trucks, speed signs are strictly taken as advisory. After we turned off the interstate the drive became prettier, with desolate hills appearing.
As we’d started off super early, we arrived early afternoon, in time to grab some food for dinner and a cheeky ale.
Check in was 3:00pm and we were there bang on, a nice spacious 3 bedroom house with a cool desert breeze blowing. A pity we are only here for one night.
