I've been very fortunate over the years to draw occasional attention in the travel trade press and I am grateful that many journalists find our particular niche in the travel industry newsworthy. Here's the latest:  Take 5 Interview , a new feature in Leisure Group Travel.

El Camino Real Rio Grande in New Mexico

April 16-22 

 

Join us this spring as we follow the fabled Camino Real along the Rio Grande from El Paso to Albuquerque. Blazed over 400 years ago in the conquistador tradition, El Camino Real became the longest highway in North America and has served as a commercial artery for a longer period of time than any other road.  Highlights include Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum, White Sands National Monument, Farmer's & Crafts Market (New Mexico-style), Old Mesilla, Fort Selden, El Camino Real International Heritage Center, San Miguel Pueblo, Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

Legendary North DakotaTeddy Roosevelt

Did you know that Teddy Roosevelt once called northern Dakota home?  It wasn't a state yet then, but then it wasn't a state when Sacagawea lived there either.  Or Sitting Bull, or the thousands of immigrants brought here by the railroads to settle the land and provide crops for the growing nation.  We'll explore the heritage of these and many more legendary North Dakotans in July.  If it's not on your bucket list, it ought to be!
