This is “home” for a couple of days. A pretty rustic KOA Kampground just North of Santa Fe.
We have been here (Santa Fe) a few times before and each time we come we find it more crowded and less fun. The last visit was about 6 years ago so we figured some things had to change. The local tourist magazine said the new fun area was the Railyard area and we had not been there so that is where we started. All we wanted was a good cup coffee and some bakery food but we could not find that in the Railyard area. We got back in the car and took a drive around the old town area but it was jammed. The plaza, the heart of old town, was jammed – it did not make us want to park and walk around as we have done in the past.
This is my driver. I drive the coach while she navigates. She drives the Tracker while I navigate. I am not as proficient with the tools though so it is not easy.
We headed back “home” around noon with the intention of heading back out in a couple of hours for a late lunch/early dinner. On our way back we passed two very crowded restaurants that were on the Old Las Vegas Highway where our KOA is. One closed at 2:00 so it was out but the other is open all day until 9:30 pm so that was our choice. Harry’s Roadhouse was crowded with locals and regulars. It has excellent service, a varied menu and good food. I had a small pizza and Carol had “an amazing smoked chicken quesadilla”. Highly recommended.
The is the Santa Fe Railyard. It apparently was an actual railyard some years ago and while most of the tracks are gone, there are still passenger trains using these remaining ones.
