We went to the little town of Madrid, NM on Saturday. It’s an old mining town that was abandoned when the mine shut down, and was then rediscovered in the 60s/70s by hippies and artists and bikers. It is on the Turquoise Trail that runs from Albuquerque to Santa Fe. It is now half artist colony/half roughneck and is totally fun. We ate at the Mine Shaft a biker bar/local watering hole. We had a great lunch, listened to a cool singer/songwriter, Katie locked herself in the stall of the bathroom (just to add a little excitement to our day!) and had a fabulous time before heading back to Burque and then off to a party. A full day indeed! BTW, Katie is being a sheep in the photo – not sure why!
Oh yes – and Madrid was featured in the movie Wild Hogs!!
