New Mexico Santa Fe USA. 16th April 2020<\/h3>\n
\n\t

From Texas on to New Mexico and Santa Fe.
\nSanta Fe was closed so we just drove through it, had a quick look then onto a place to free camp for a while. We found a place on the other side of the Rio Grande Gorge in the Carson National Forest. We wanted to stay for a week, or until our water run out. Set up camp with the composting toilet for the first time. It worked well.
\nAfter about a week we were out of water. Our next stop was the historic town of Taos to do shopping, laundry and fill up with water. We parked right in town on a vacant block of land next to McDonalds, the site was very handy, but we weren\u2019t allowed to have any Maccas because we were too big to drive though and they would not take walk up orders. No one told us to leave so we stayed for a couple of nights. The First Nations historic area in Taos was closed off and under security so we were definitely not allowed to do any drive by sightseeing. By this stage our flights out of Seattle had been cancelled, but we could leave from San Francisco, decided to kept heading north west. We could get home on a Qantas flight to Sydney but there was no flight to Melbourne for Lucy dog who needed a direct flight to quarantine there. We were told by Qantas some time in June they might be flying direct to Melbourne.<\/p>\n
