Edgewood, NM
Edgewood is a clean little town along I-40. There is an RV park with an old Red Top diner (not open for business) similar to the one at the Route 66 Museum in Clinton, Oklahoma. There is gas and there are plenty of places to eat.
Edgewood has the Wild West Nature Park, which has mountain lions, coyotes and other interesting wildlife.
For bikers, stop by Knucklehead's Motorcycle Center on the West end of town.
The next town is Zuzax. You will be on Hwy 333 for part of the way, but then take a detour down Sedillo Hill Rd. This detour is a winding road through several residential neighborhoods. If you are in a hurry, you can stay on Hwy 333 and skip the detour, but you will be missing a nice ride, and who knows whether you will get the chance to be here again.
