Paint Your Wagon

Another long driving day on I-40. We traveled through more flat grass land. We took a break just after entering New Mexico, for Les to take a short nap. It was only about 11am, but Les was getting tired. Jill figured out that the time zone caught us again. We are now in the Mountain Time Zone! We stopped again about an hour later in Santa Rosa, NM for a Mexican lunch at the Silver Moon. Really great food! As we continued on to Albuquerque, the landscape changed to Juniper forest in strongly undulating mills and valleys. The wind was mostly head on, so the gas mileage suffered. Cruise control was useless. We gassed up at Costco before checking in at the nearby KOA. While the laundry was in the dryer, we were in the indoor hot tub! Many KOAs have a variety of interesting amenities. We decided to spend two nights here since we have been pushing to get west. But we are getting more tired because of the driving.Baca lagi
