The rear air conditioner died last night. We aren’t sure what the problem is, but it should be cool at night, so we will get it looked at when we get a chance. It was a long day of driving across the nothingness that is north Texas. We were on the road at 9 and drove and drove and drove through nothingness. After Amarillo we did catch a glimpse of the Cadillac graveyard. I didn’t get a photo, but people were walking out in the fields to get close. At the New Mexico rest stop we took a break. It is a fairly new rest stop, but behind it was a dumpster spray painted with the message “No Dead Animals”. I loved that.
As we approached Tucumcari NM, storms were approaching. The big Tucumcari mountain was visible from a long way off. We made it to the Tucumcari KOA and got settled just before the storm hit. It was really windy, and the RV rocked and rolled a bit, but no harm done.
After the storm passed we drove into Tucumcari to drive that part of old Route 66. Lots of motels and gift shops and restaurants are still operating. I took some photos, and we came back to the RV. The KOA delivers dinner if you sign up for it. We had, and at 6:30 our homemade pot roast was delivered. It was really quite good. Bill loved the idea of dinner delivered to the RV.
I posted a few more photos, so click on the West Photos link on the left.
