NickSouthern New Mexico offers a few sites with a bang - the Trinity test site (first atomic bomb test) is in the White Sands Missile Range, but strangely enough, isn't open to visitors. They do have a museum though, which is chock full of missiles of all sorts that have gone off with a bang here at some point in the past.

Well, I might make a balloonist but Karen never would... having to be up at 4am would be a no no.
Currently at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta - the worlds largest - watching 100s of colourful hot air balloons take off in a mass ascent. Favourite funky balloon was shaped like a giant beer mug! Cheers NickWe've made it to Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado to admire the Ancestral Pueblan's (formerly known as the Anasazi) building and climbing skills. Their cliffside dwellings and toe and handhole climbing routes to the mesa top make me very glad we have spiral staircases instead!

Back on the road in the US and by our count, this is our 10th crossing of the Continental Divide on our drive south down the Rockies. Clearly, Nick is a fan of hairpin bends and steep ascents...shame we bought a wallowing monster SUV rather than a sleek sports car! Way too cold to camp at these altitudes, so we're motelling it til we get further south.

Karen commandeers the nearest available boat to conquer Lac d'Annecy in search of treasure and a nice bottle of white wine.
