[@percymcnabb4746]

thank you for sharing, love the little towns

[@dinatowey5510]

Thanks for showing us they back roads. It was really cool to see Magrid, and see the buildings from the movie Wild Hogs and other movies.

[@jeanettebrown6060]

Hi, this is Jeanette again. Sure wish I was on this trip with you. I know it’s wonderful ! Don’t forget to take time play some golf. I’m very sick so send up some prayers for me. Take care and be careful. God Bless, Jeanette

[@larryjohnson6398]

To cool for school great video and art work. This is going to be a great time traveling with you.👍

[@callieduval3000]

This is a must thanks for taking us along Russ!

[@rexabrams7352]

This was a fantastic side road trip. I'm loving your new videos and your multiple day travels too. Its like if we are right there with you. Keep them coming Russ!

[@ksr1177]

Another great video Russ. Have you ever thought about visiting the Carlsbad Caverns? Thanks again and be safe out there.

[@lindamartin2045]

Wonderful adventure!! Interesting artwork. Herd of horses was really neat. Loved the plant garden. 👍👍. Thank you.

[@birdman5223]

Gorgeous day there in NewMexico, gr8 stuff az uzual MrRuss👍😎🌞

[@MSDOGS1976]

I love Sante Fe. I have a cousin that lives there and I have visited a couple of times in the last 8 years or so. Maybe it's time for another trip out that way. I enjoyed the downtown art district and the many old beautiful buildings around the city.

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

The flowers and the orange tree! Its beautiful! Don't forget to buy some red or green dried chili..

[@susanstrickland6774]

You're outdoing yourself on this adventure, even compared to the last one. The drive is great, along with the stops. Super nice journey. Thank for taking us along. 🙂👍

[@robertjean659]

Thanks for the drive today, some great museums. 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@melvinbozell9379]

Russ we are really enjoying this video of New Mexico. Rt 14. All the art. Sure hot here in Sun City AZ.

[@rvertv]

Thank you

[@nadinejohnson2189]

🕊️ Hi👋🏽RVerTV 🚐 🏞️ Thank You!🌻🏜️

[@henrypaulpierce4160]

Thoroughly enjoy this video...sure has changed...I went through the turquoise trail enroute to Taos in 1978...when I stopped in Los Cerrillos I thought I slipped back in time waiting for someone to challenge me to a gunfight. The entire trail is a national treasure...matter a fact they filmed several Westerns in and around Cerrillos...Young Guns to name a few

[@timshel011]

You're in my neighborhood. 😂 Enjoy your visit...😊

[@rvertv]

Thank you, I will

[@randylenz254]

What impressed me the most about the origami art studio was that I t was off grid. You said the heat and ac were off-line too but as a welder, that blew me away because trust me, aluminum welding requires SUBSTANTIALLY more power than even the air conditioning. I didn't think it was possible to run welding on an industrial scale like that off of solar.

[@imagseer]

What a beautiful and interesting state to explore, look forward to seeing more of it. Your rear view camera is great as it captures the wonderful warm 'Golden Hour' light of the early morning.

[@M.Campbell]

Loved seeing all the art, and the lovely garden too. Thank you!

[@johnniephillips4534]

U should tell the story of how you started your travels love to hear it

[@TreDeuce-qw3kv]

Probably mentioned by some in the comments, but Madrid is pronounced 'Mad - rid. The Mine Shaft taven stood in for the Red Pony saloon in the Longmire series, The movie wild Hogs was filmed in Madrid.

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Hi Russ, a little technique I learned about gas/diesel dispensers. As you remove the dispenser, you will always get those leaks of fuel. All you need to do is rotate it slightly as you remove it so the nozzle isn't pointing down. Et voila, no more leaks. Works all the time ... wish I'd known about the technique years ago.

[@bleeabou]

Thank you Russ for doing this trip as my brother lives in Taos. Very excited to see this.😊

[@steveblankenship5474]

My parents used to live in New Mexico and I’ve been on that Turquoise Trail a few times. It’s really underrated and it’s a very nice area to visit. One fall I came across the largest tarantula I have ever seen on the side of that highway.

[@jcupcake1]

Hi Russ, I enjoy your videos. I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this but since you are in the area, you might want to drive "The High Road to Taos". A beautiful drive!

[@soonerjhtravels]

I cant believe you were in Madrid & didnt go into the Wild Hogs diner, thats one place where they filmed the movie at, but I guess it was too early. Its a funny movie. but I dont watch much tv anymore, Im too busy watching RVer TV! haha looks like a great trip so far Russ, thanks!

[@scottharriman2371]

I wondered if someone would mention this building. This actually was a prop that was built to be used and shot in the movie. Once the movie was filmed the locals wanted the building torn down because they didn’t want the building to attract movie goers to come to town to see the building. The people that bought it were Europeans that had just moved to town. When the locals couldn’t get the building torn down then they fought that the building no be allowed to have water plumbed to the building that way it could never be used as a diner like it resembled In The movie Wild Hogs. The locals didn’t want anyone to prosper from the movie.

[@ramontoro]

Hello everybody from Puerto Rico, beautiful roads

[@rvertv]

Hello there!

[@edwilliams968]

Dont get me started on the CCC and the WPA in New Mexico. There are a ton! Elephant Butte area Carlsbad Caverns Bandalier National Monument for starters....

[@CRP60]

Hey, Russ. We did a similar trip a couple of years ago. We stayed at the Grants KOA, had a nice dinner delivered to our RV, saw the Ice Caves and Volcano too. We rode the tram up the Sandia Mountain. Went to Santa Fe, stayed in a KOA near there. Also rode up to Taos on the enchanted highway. The Vietnam Memorial was a nice stop plus Red River. Saw Kit Carsons grave site too. Enjoy!

That was such a happy coincidence that you happen to find that studio in the middle of the dessert! And what a beautiful place New Mexico is, thanks so much for sharing it with us! ❤

[@juneyshu6197]

Origami sculptures! Origami is hard enough to do, but to make the sculptures, wow. Nice owl rock.Lovely trip.

[@Bjpangit4706]

Hi Russ, on the road again, can’t wait to get on the road again , drive carefully sir, love watching your video as usual, one of these days I will meet you on the road somewhere

[@rvertv]

Thanks 👍

[@maryelmaguire3161]

I’m really enjoying this trip just like the other adventures you take us on!

[@richardl.7390]

Well, I'm not going far this year (I got cataracts that may be removed any day now), so consider you are "my eyes" exploring the West. Madrid, N.M. looks like a few towns I visited over the years (notably Onyx on Rte 178 or Coarsegold on Rte 41, California and numerous communities on Rte 54 in N.M. between Santa Rosa and Alamogordo) and it reveals "real small-town America". Thanks for these images that fill our souls. RICHARD

[@keithbalke6352]

Cool if he drove to Raton NM…..on the Colorado border. Neat place

[@meloneyparker]

He might. I suggested Durango.

[@johnnystacks2607]

[@carolp4502]

I like the rear view camera a lot, gives us a great picture.

Your rear camera reminds me of a 9 passenger sw my parents once had. My brother and I rode in the rear seat facing backwards viewing were we were leaving

[@robertlevesque8516]

At 11.40 is where they filmed the 2007 movie "Wild Hogs" with John Travolta, Tim Allen, William Macy & Martin Lawrence.

[@EdgeOfNowhere2024]

Yes it was , there is a little Bar that Russ walked by in the video and you can see a small sign saying wild hogs

[@wehebbenogefkus6478]

Hey Russ As Dutch people, we obviously don't know the US very well, but your videos give us a great idea of ​​our travel goals. Another inspiration for our 26 day Route 66 trip in September - October 2024. Other videos of yours have also given us great ideas. Keep on trucking Russ John & Lizette

[@Gypsy218]

Really enjoyed the art museums, not sure they were there last time I visited . I was excited when I saw that you were doing the turquoise trail but you missed the best part- outside of Albuquerque are the Sandia Mountains and tram and a very cool RV park where we stayed called the Turquoise Trail RV park, small park run by really nice people. Very scenic drive from there also. I know you’ve already done this whole drive but I hope you got to stop in Chimayo on your way to Taos. They have a great restaurant there. BTW 2 ll’s in Spanish is pronounced as a y, e.g. Ceriyos. Love your videos!

Santa Fe is my hometown. I hope you enjoyed the visit. I moved from there some time ago. You will really enjoy the mountains between Taos and Eagle Nest/Angel Fire. Still some snow on Wheeler Peak. Be prepared for a construction delay on US 64 before Angel Fire.

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

YAY!

[@jeffswanson3740]

It would be cool if you could check out some these places AFTER they open , like after 9 or 10 am.

Lots of neat things to see as usual, unlike any where else. Love the drone footage and the whole trip. 😊

So good to see you expand your artist horizon. Art is in the eye of the beholder. In my world we call that artsy fartzy. Good job thank you ALL stay safe

The orange rose was beautiful at the Santa Fe Botanical Gardens. Loved the Origami presentation too!

[@carlhockl8413]

Hi Russ, origami is an ancient Oriental paper folding art form. Intricate sculpture like form are made and some have meanings. Looks like at this place the fold aluminum to make origami 😊

Im excited to see the route 66 videos.😃😀👍😀 Always wanted to do that on my goldwing, but never got the chance.

[@williamfox1146]

For art you must walk Canyon Road in Santa Fe. For scenery drive Bishops Lodge Road up to Santa Fe ski area.

[@edwilliams968]

This park is one of Ne Mexico's newest and there is no camping there. One of the few with now camping...

Thanks again for the tour, Russ. I was behind on your videos, so trying to catch up. When I get back on the road I'll be sure to look you up, but that won't be until next year. I do all I can to avoid the big cities and go around them if possible. Take care, Mike

I used to drive that road from South of Tijeras to Santa Fe twice a day. In my lifetime I have seen. Madrid go from a ghost town to a hippie hangout to a tourist trap.

[@Nivasi]

Always enjoyed that drive

[@garrymartin6065]

A very enjoyable ride with you on the Turquoise trail. Living and working with the pueblos several years ago I loved retraveling on your roads, brought back some good memories and good times. I enjoy the quality of video you show, do you mind sharing what you are shooting with and what you edit with? Enjoy the green chili frites pie at Kres 5&10 store adjacent to the plaza. You just need one by time you get to the palace of governors cross the plaza you will feel like you ate a dozen and can see vision. lol. Thanks for your efforts. enjoy the day, it's a gift.

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

No wonder Mr Ford..top fashion designer lives out there! Land of Enchantment has those beautiful inspiring colors . Hope you get a cheeseburger with hatch chilis … I remember you pointing a spot that was famous for menu item. ( been wanting real deal ever since; mine just needed better than 14F weather).

[@robertcolpitts4534]

Beautiful video! We lived for 28 years in New Mexico and have many memories of the roads you are driving. Thank you for sharing your videos. Great job! P.S. Madrid is pronounced MAD-rid and Cerrillos is pronounce Ser-REE-yos with the R rolled (or trilled). It means "Little Hills". Madrid was a coal mining town that supplied low-sulfur coal to the Santa Fe Railroad, Santa Fe and Albuquerque. The next time you go through, swing by Galisteo, over east of Cerrillos. Burl Ives used to live there.
