I win at Google hunting.

Someone who tags and does grafitti, favorited one of my photos on flick, so skimming through his stream there was one graf of a ogre on a castle tower, I quite liked, and since his other photos were NM based i figured it was likely that it was in nm.

So i asked where it was and then tried ot find it via google and the street sign visible. And bingo, i win at googling. even found a nearby street view to confirm.

I continue to find nice interesting things to add to my Google RSS reader, http://reader.google.com one thing I recently found that my friends who use craigslist lots may enjoy, is you can search and add a RSS feed for various category things.

Google Maps now has street view of Albuquerque, atleast patchy bits of it, looks like they did part of it on a weekend after Halloween and Thanksgiving, Judging by the decorations in my dad's yard

so, google maps has labeled I25 between isleta and Santa Fe as "Historic Route 66"

most people know it kinda follows i40 not i25 right?

Well yes and no. It looks like up until 1936 the route did go up through las vegas (nm) and Santa Fe
