New Mexico

Dates : 20-22 November, 2009
People : /me, Scud, Fahad and MS.
Miles in car: 1200miles


City, known for old architecture and buildings. One of the early cities of USA/Mexico, tells lot of history about US Vs Mexican war.. Spanish history too.

Drove and stayed near WhiteSands.


One hell of a place. Played Football, volleyball, throwball, 'sikkor chendu'., did sand sliding. etc. It was complete fun.

went through El Paso, TX. One of the Border town of US / Mexico. Felt like we are in majestic area of bengaluru. on the roads, instead of guys staring at gals, gals were staring at us :O

Drove and camped near Carlsbad, NM.


Another natural wonder. The caves here are "BIIIIIGGGGG' and AWESOME. they have electricity here, so the cave looks good. cave is 750ft below the mountain top, and they have elevator. These limestone caves are really a wonder.

Also visited Guadalupe Mountains National Park on the way back.

Date: 7th and 8th November, 2009
People: Sudharshan (Scud), Fahad, Raghavendra (Du) and /me
Car : Mitsubhishi galant
Miles Travelled: 1350

Expectations were low, but it turned out to be very nice trip. did see waterfalls, deserts (sand dunes), canyons, lake (282 feet below sea level), golf course, castle (history.. manually constructed monument). mountains.

First time in the trip, I actually took time off and slept in back seat of the car while travelling (blame it on changed lifestyle, or jetlag or anything else). Counted stars :p
