One memorable encounter was the washed out road between Las Vegas and Santa Fe was one of the worst the group encountered during their travels. “The best commentary on the road between Santa Fe and Albuquerque is that it took less than three hours to make the sixty-five miles, whereas the seventy-three from Las Vegas to Santa Fe took us nearly six,” Post pointed out.
