• All the way thru New Mexico

    29 April 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

    Pretty cool over the evening. We accidentally left a couple off windows open (behind the shades) and it was 51 ° in the RV. Hard to get it of bed when it's that cool.
    Emptied our waste and filled up with water anticipating more parking lot overnighters. Back on 40 east.
    Quick stop in Santa Rosa at the Route 66 car museum to make lunch. It didn't look that good so just took some pics of the older cars outside. NM has a pretty consistent look, gentle rolling hills, dry grass and lots, and lots, and lots of pinyon pines. Did not take a single picture of one. Fact: it is the state tree of NM.
    Tom did the afternoon drive, crossed over in to Texas which looks totally unlike NM. Not a tree to be seen, and of course (as those who have spent a lot of time in Texas) the wind turbines!
    Quick detour to the tiny town of Adrian. It is physically the mid point of route 66 between Los Angeles and Chicago. (I-40 is Route 66, at least most of it)
    Then on into Amarillo for an overnight at the ubiquitous "Cracker Barrel" restaurant found near interstates and highways in most states. Dinner was okay, but pretty inexpensive! And a free overnight. (No power or water)
    Took a nice walk after dinner with the pup down to the American Quarter Horse museum. Looked nice, but clearly was closed.
