Cheaper is not better. The mattress was too soft; no hair dryer, clock or cups in the bathroom (but there were some by the ice bucket). Water out of the faucet (sink and tub) was tepid so no bath for me. Matt reported it was hot out of the shower.
Trains passed by all night; having to whistle at the intersection, so there was no soothing, constant rumble; just rumble-rumble-rumble-TOOOOOOT- rumble-rumble. Repeat each hour.
We stopped in Fort Sumner for breakfast at the Rodeo Cafe. The potatoes were somewhat gray but the rest was good.
We drove back to the Flying C where I picked up the red rooster I saw on the way down. Matt picked up an armadillo mug, and Katie and I got some jewelry. We had trouble finding Anth another gift.
In Albuquerque, while stopping at Target, Katie asked if we could go to the Owl Cafe. We enjoyed dessert: Matt - pie; Katie - root beer float; Connie - banana split. That's lunch, not dessert!
We stopped in Farmington in the early evening, booking a better room (after rejecting a double-bed only room again). After going
out for pizza, we were ready for bed at 9:30, setting the alarm for 7:00. Katie wants to drive more each day and get home sooner.Can you see the fence in the picture? I can't imagine the maintenance!
