Rowe, NM
Rowe is a small community along I-25 with a Post Office and a few residences. The early settlers came from Las Ruedas to work on the railroad. ET Padilla's Store and Victory Bar that advertised "Whiskey-Wine-Beer" is long abandoned. Too bad. As the song says "These are a few of my favorite things".
When you leave Rowe toward Pecos, you finally will get away from I-25 and go through some beautiful country on the way to Santa Fe.
On the way from Rowe to Pecos, you will go through Pecos National Historical Park, which has some impressive ruins of a pueblo and mission church. It takes a while to walk through the ruins, but if you like that kind of thing, these ruins are better than most.
