Sadie's and Traffic Mess On I-40

Yesterday was spent going to Albuequerque with friend Russell Azbill from Jamestown who had doctor appointments. I rode along just in case problems should crop up (none did),

Along the way, we noticed westbound lanes of Interstate 40 about 30 miles from Albuquerque were backed up for around five miles of traffic near To'hajiilee. This was due to road work near Laguna.

The doctor appointments went fine and when those were done, we tried out Sadie's of New Mexico Euclid restaurant. This was a different location from the one I went to a couple of weeks ago. Same menu and good food. I had a combination plate of a chicken enchilada and chile relleno. The sauce was quite hot and sweat was pouring down my face.

After dinner, we headed back to Jamestown. 

As for Interstate 40, the westbound lanes were worse than what we saw earlier. Long lines of vehicles stretched for miles. Most of the time, we were at a crawl at best.

This added two additional hours to our travel time back to Jamestown. 

By the time we got back to Jamestown, it was around 8:00.
