The Sidepony Express Music Festival started 14 years ago. They missed two years because of the pandemic, so this year was the 12 edition. It was the second Sidepony for Karla and myself. Thursday Sidepony had an official kick-off on Thursday, November 6 at the Bisbee Grand featuring Fatigo and Mariachi Pueblo Viejo. When we…

Cactus Point
I was moving a little slow on Saturday morning. A few days on the road had taken its toll. But some sweet French toast at the Cantina in the Hotel Encanto helped get me going. We had four hours of driving left to get us to Sierra Vista. We made a stop right outside of…

Roswell & Las Cruces
We started our morning with a quick stop at Cadillac Ranch. It is weird, and tourist trap, and covered is spray paint, but I am glad we stopped. We headed southwest. I had researched Bandolero Brewery in Clovis, New Mexico. They opened at 11:00am and the menu looked good. Our route would get us there…

Tulsa Guthrie Amarillo
One of the reasons we stopped in Tulsa was to see the Jay Farrar/Son Volt exhibit at the Woody Guthrie Center. The Woody Guthrie Center doesn’t open until 10:00am so we had a little time to sleep in. We got ready and walked to the Chimera Cafe. Karla had a tasty breakfast taco and latte,…

So much for monthly updates. I have some notes, so I will recount some of our activities in July. The first day of July we went to Rendezvous Brewing and played Trivia with my brother Michael and his daughter Olivia. We had a good night and took first place. Over the long Independence Day weekend,…

Pine Point
We continued our journey on Thursday through the rest of Iowa and into Minnesota. We stopped once for gas and a break. Then to Willmar, Minnesota for lunch at Foxhole Brewhouse. We had a pretty good lunch and a couple beers. We also got a couple crowlers to go. From Willmar it was only an…

Sioux City
After a pretty good hotel breakfast, we got the heck out of Dodge. We continued across Kansas and stopped in Minneapolis, Kansas for lunch. We had some tasty flatbread and a spinach chicken wrap at the Farm and the Oddfellow. We also talked with the brewmaster and tried some of his beer from the tap…

Get to Dodge City
We started in Albuquerque and headed east. We had skipped breakfast so we had an early lunch in Tucumcari. Tucumcari looked a little run down but we found some delicious barbecue at Watson’s BBQ inside the Tucumcari Ranch Supply. From Tucumcari it was a long, flat, straight NE trip through the corner of Texas (lots…
