With our stay in New Mexico coming to a close, we decided it was time to fill up the gas tank before heading off to Lubbock, Texas. So we headed over to the Ready Mart to fill up, popped in the pump and let ‘er ride. After grabbing some Fuze green tea from inside, I returned remove the nozzle. Little did I know this shit hole gas station had overfilled our tank. I gave the nozzle a pull and it didn’t budge so I yanked it and BAM!!!

After our failed attempts to connect with our woo-girls we knew in the area, we decided to head to Sandia’s Peak. Atop this peak, we were taken aback by the beautiful panaromic view of the Cibola National forest, and decided to treat ourselves to a few drinks atop this majestic vantage point. It was clear that while the elevation change did not affect our alcohol tolerance atop, once we arrived back to the car we felt a little woozy, but in a good way nonetheless.

After long and arduous 9 hour drive from Vegas, packed with several construction detours and rain storms that pracically lifted our car off the pavement, we arrived in Albuquerque around 9:30 pm last night. My uncle was kind enough to offer a couch and a bed for us for a couple nights. First order of business was capitolizing on the cool weather and exploring a local hot spot. More…
