Texas to New Mexico

Lots of photos today. Besides, do you really want to read my writing or look at my photos? You should really check out Gretchen’s blog for more about our trip as well.

Anyway, we stopped in Amarillo, Tx for the night and went to The Big Texas for lunch, a place Woody would be in heaven. Needless to say they had very large steaks, including a 72oz. steak that if you could eat in an hour you got for free. The record holder did it in 8 mins and 53 seconds. Um, yuck. Here’s my 8oz, the smallest they had.

Moving on from having way too much meat for lunch was this sight just west of Amarillo off 40.

Well, to be honest I was planning on stopping at the famous Cadillac Ranch anyway. But the view is pretty odd in the middle of nowhere Texas. Here’s more of my photos of the 10 old Cadillacs stuck nose first into the ground. They are continually changing as almost everyone adds a little more pain to the finish. No rust here.

Once into New Mexico I had to take a few shots of an abandoned church at one of our stops.

We finally arrived at Moe’s Place in Albuquerque, NM around 5:00 local time. Time for laundry and a few days break. Moe is thrilled.
