Thursday’s drive from Tularosa to Santa Fe.

There is no way you can start off a morning wrong when you have hash browns smothered in green chiles and cheddar cheese. It was delicious dish we enjoyed at the local Tularosa gas station restaurant.

Following breakfast, we trekked north for a stop at Three Rivers Petroglyph Site run by the BLM. Within a relatively small area 21,700 petroglyphs have been identified. Within five minutes of hiking we were surrounded by petroglyphs of all sizes and shapes. It seemed every rock was marked.

After Three Rivers, we renewed our drive northward. On the way we discovered that Tinkertown wouldn’t open until Friday. Moreover, not too far from Tinkertown is Madrid, the town made famous by the WILD HOGS Movie. After pondering our options, we decided that we would have to save Madrid and Tinkertown for some other time.

Bob sent me a crime report. This jeep is sitting outside at the Akron/Canton, Ohio, Airport with no protection, a lost sole without a loving home. There’s another sitting there too. Both have been left to nature (as best as Bob can tell).  Note the rear tires is flat and the front tire is close behind.

UPDATE: This was on eBay. Status Unknown

“Sweet 1961 Willys FC 150. This pickup was restored several years ago and is still in really good shape. It has the 4 cylinder motor and is four wheel drive. The engine and drive line work great. Pretty reliable old truck, and also very rare. You just don’t see these forward control pickups in as rust free condition as this one is. As you can see from the pictures, the undercarriage is in great shape and the body is quite nice with very few blemishes and scratches. Glass is in good shape. Interior is very clean and nice, with recovered seats and a new headliner. The only glitch is that the seal in the transfer case has a slow leak. It’s nothing terribly serious, but it will leave an oil spot on the floor over time. This, of course, is not unusual in these older Jeeps. The truck is located in Denver, CO near I-70.”
