April 13, 2009: Followed old Route 66 for quite a bit of the trip in Missouri. It's a trip we would like to take some day, from beginning to end. Stayed at a horse motel in Cuba, MO, home of the St James Winery where they make delicious blackberry wine.
April 14, 2009: Oklahoma has red clay, Black Angus and blue sky, rows and rows of windmills, evidence of recent grass fires and rolling hills. We're still following old Route 66.
The Texas panhandle has big feedlots. Close your eyes and you know they are there.
We're heading for Amarillo TX to another horse motel for the night. We spent a windy night in the camper while the horses were safe and sound in a sturdy cement block barn with pipe doors. In the morning the owners of the horse motel directed us to an RV service center for some necessary repairs to the camper and the hitch.
April 15: Travelling through New Mexico, it's wide open, sparse of grass and towns. The towns are very few and far between and when we travel through small towns they appear to just be clusters of a few small businesses along the highway. One tumbleweed the size of my yellow VW beetle passed us on the highway, and we saw two lonesome antelope, each grazing by themselves. There is lots of brown grass, big shrubs and blue sky. No cell phone coverage and no internet.
Arrived in Las Cruces, NM at the State Fairgrounds, sheared the air conditioner off the top of the camper and secured the horses for the night.
