In the spring of 2022 we completed 7 of the many New Mexico Route 66 Adventure Labs (for geocaching) as we headed back to South Dakota. Last October we completed 5 more on our travels to Arizona. On Saturday, we added 4 more of New Mexico's Route 66 Adventure Labs. We think there are only two - from Santa Fe to Albuquerque - that we have not completed.
Adventure Labs are a recent addition to the types of geocache finds. There is not a container to find, but there is a location and a question that must be answered to get credit for "finding the cache." The Route 66 Adventure Labs follow the original Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica. Route 66 is filled with stunning scenery, historic landmarks, and unique attractions that make for an unforgettable road trip.
US 66 covered 380 miles (610 km) in New Mexico and passed through many Indian reservations in the western half of New Mexico. East of those reservations, the highway passed through Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Vegas. As in Arizona, in New Mexico, U.S. 66 paralleled I-40.
Our road trip on Saturday was on Central Avenue in Albuquerque. This is the main road through and to Old Town. We found old motels, eating places, service stations that were once bustling businesses.
