Our trip took place in March 2012, from southern California to Santa Fe of New Mexico, 1800 miles of bus drive. The drive started from Orange County, went through Nevada, New Mexico in one day to get to the first destination on the first day. Each Gallery below was a pilgrimage stop; most of the sites were in the Santa Fe area and close vicinity.
The weather in March was mild cold, with snow covered on both sides of the Interstate 40 going through New Mexico, which was closed a week before after a snow storm. Not much of the snow left if we were not told. The group had a short stop at Albuquerque for a on-the-run lunch then headed to Santa Fe, another 50 miles north.
On the way back home, the pilgrimage stopped by the Shrine of La Vang, LV, which was our last stop of the trip before heading back to Orange County, CA. A broadcasted video Link is attached in this Gallery.
