HAPPY "ST PATRICKS DAY" BIRTHDAY SANDY !!!!

Yesterday we drove as far as Tucumcari , New Mexico. Some of the scenery coming out of New Mexico was beautiful .

 We spent the night in a small RV park on Historic Route 66. Back in the 20's, Route 66 was the only east/west road that stretched from Chicago IL to Los Angeles Ca, a total of 2448 miles. I still remember my folks driving this road on our way west, that was back in the 50's. I'm sure everyone has heard of "Get your kicks on Route 66". Unfortunately, with the new freeways, all of the towns are suffering from lack of tourist trade. We did find a fantastic little restaurant, they had the BEST green chili chicken taco soup I have ever tasted. Wish I could have bought a gallon of it.  I sent the restaurant an email, asking if they would share their recipe.
Today, all we did was drive...long, long miles, through the rest of New Mexico, Texas, the panhandle of Oklahoma and almost 1/2 way across Kansas. There was nothing to take pictures of...the land is flat, there were some feedlots with lots of cattle close to Dalton TX , but that was the most interesting thing we saw all day.
Tonight, we are in the little town of Kinsley, KS...From what I have seen, it is about the size of Lester Prairie or less, (maybe closer to the size of Biscay) Camp ground only has 29 spaces, the Internet works !!  But, the TV only has 1 channel. Temp was close to 80* when we got here, but windy,  they are saying 20 degrees colder for the weekend.
Tomorrow, we will try and make it as far as Lincoln, Nebraska, which isn't far from Omaha and Council Bluffs on the Iowa border, so we are getting closer every day.
