Royal Gorge Bridge & Park, Canon City, Colorado

February 13

I have talked Colorado to death. We’ve been there a bazillion times since I started this blog and very little changes from visit to visit.

As a direct result of that, I am shifting how I structure my blog posts. Instead of an overarching trip overview, I will pick out the specific adventures we go on while on these trips. That way, I don’t have to tell you that we went shopping in Crested Butte and Gunnison again or that we ate crack fries at Secret Stash again.

So, for this inaugural blog post in this style, I present to you, The Royal Gorge Bridge & Park in Canon City, CO

Blue October at Prairie Home Alliance Theater

December 4, 2025

Previously on The Wandering New Mexican:

During the last days of our stay in Cannon Beach, Brandy got the call that their head accountant was leaving in short order and Brandy and her colleagues would have to fly to San Diego to be trained on what he did and take over some of those responsibilities. This trip was scheduled for December 1-3. With tickets in hand for a Blue October concert in Peoria on the 4th, there were some logistics that needed to be worked out.

Cannon Beach and Seaside, Oregon and Seattle, Washington

November 16-27, 2025

Brandy returned from the work trip that caused her to miss the November Blue October show on November 8.

Five days later, we were on the road again, driving across the country.

Well, Ash and I did, anyway…

Blue October at Hoyt Sherman Place

November 2, 2025

In April, we bought tickets to see Blue October at Hoyt Sherman Place on November 2. After our Escape the Corn Sweat summer tour and our first international trip to see Blue October in Cabo, Brandy forgot and promptly booked a work trip to northern California, leaving November 1.

Never fear though, she suggested I take Sue, her mom.

So I did!

Into the Ocean: Blue October in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico!

October 2-6, 2025

Less than six years after starting this blog, and wondering if I would ever even leave the state of New Mexico, Brandy and I found ourselves leaving the country for a four day all inclusive trip to Mexico to hang out with Blue October!

Escaping the Corn Sweat: Albuquerque and Wichita

September 14 – 26, 2025

The end of this leg of our Summer 2025 Escape the Corn Sweat Tour was supposed to see us finish a week in Albuquerque before heading on home for a couple of weeks before our departure for our first international trip, but Brandy had other plans.
