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 […]

January 1-3, 2026 2025’s body wasn’t even cold before we headed out on our first adventure for 2026!
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 […]
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, […]
Evil Dead In Concert
October 12, 2025 I might have mentioned this before, but Facebook’s targeted market sure knows me. Before our trip to Cabo, I’d spied an ad for Evil Dead In Concert, a showing of my favorite movie with a small orchestra performing the score live on stage. There was NO way I was going to pass […]
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.
Escaping the Corn Sweat: Wire Pass Trail
September 11, 2025 During the Summer of 2021, I watched a video from some wandering YouTubers I follow, Adam and Kathryn where they hiked the Wire Pass to Buckskin Gulch slot canyon trail in Kanab, Utah. So inspired, that’s when I became determined to visit southern Utah.
Escaping the Corn Sweat: Bryce Canyon National Park and the Toadstool Hoodoos
September 10, 2025 In my effort to make my posts more bearable to read (as well as to write), I’m going to try a different approach on this post and see how it works out.
