The Best Western where we stayed last night had a very nice breakfast: eggs, bacon, hash browns as well as fruit and cereals or oatmeal so we were well fed as we headed out on a day of driving East. The day had all variations of weather: mostly cloudy, sometimes it would rain then some snow showers then the sun would be back out and the temp went from 50's to 60's to 40's and back to the 50's again . . . I guess we are really leaving the desert and heading back to home.
Mesas are everywhere you look out here.
Back to New Mexico . . . It's called the Land Of Enchantment but I'm not buying it.
A quick stop at what we thought was the Continental Divide . . . it turns out the sign is not actually at the highest point though. The elevation was higher about a half mile down the road. Good thing we checked it out with the GPS
Last pic of the day . . . the Historic Route 66 POW WOW Restaurant where we had dinner tonight. There are so many towns that were thriving communities before they put the Interstate in and rerouted the traffic around the towns. Many are nearly ghost towns . . . .others have businesses that are deserted and most struggle to survive. Progress is sometimes sad.
Tomorrow is another driving day through the pan handle of Texas and all of Oklahoma.
