It's Thursday that must mean we're in New Mexico

Giddy up go. We have traveled through Texas and into New Mexico. When we drove through here 6 months ago we came from Roswell New Mexico so after we drove through Amarillo Tx everything is new to us. We stopped in Tucumcari Nm the first night and stayed at a "quaint" little road side Rv park that offered Passport America club people full hookups for 18.00 a night, so we stayed. The town of Tucumcari is trying to survive like all small places that Route 66 left behind.

After a couple of weeks of "normal" or should I say "usual" landscape, driving through northern Texas and into New Mexico is a big change.

About 30 km west of Tucumcari

We are still on I-40 heading west at an elevation of about 4500 feet. I-40 replaced most of the old Route 66 and you can still see quite a few places trying to capitalize on it. 

The red earth reminded us of  PEI

Some of them are right up beside the Highway

We stayed in a casino Rv spot in Sky City, Acoma NM, and it wasn't half bad. Very reasonable price and the Buffet was great. June proved again that it would be easier if she just gave her money to the door man when she goes into the casino, it would last longer.

Back on the road we carried on to Arizona.

I think they wait for the vehicle to be the same colour as the rocks.

The colours get me every time

Just liked the shapes of the clouds and all

We are now in Williams Arizona. We have some touring to do here including the south rim of The Grand Canyon and we want to checkout a place called Bearizona. It only took about 2.5 hours to do this blog as the internet sucks so hopefully we can do a Grand Canyon blog in the next couple of days. Take care and thank-you for checking in on us, we are behaving ourselves most of the time.
