Our Last Night on the Road!

Not much to report for yesterday - Bill drove and drove and drove. We left Slidell, Louisiana and stopped for the night in Lake City, FL. I had wanted to stop at Florida Caverns State Park but the tickets for the tour of the caverns are first come, first served and as we neared I called and we [...]

Covering Some Miles!

Happy 90th Birthday, Mom! I'm sorry I'm not with her, but we did celebrate in June with the whole family. Fortunately, brother Carl and Nikki are with her to help her celebrate today with a lobster dinner! Her favorite.
I must apologize - we really just drove all day today so there isn't a lot of news. I included a photo from Zion National Park because I didn't before - I used the one of Bill and our cabin that day. We were at Zion the day after it had rained, hence the muddy water.
Bill and I left the hotel in Santa Fe and stopped at McDonald's for breakfast, again, and hit the road. We passed lots of green, scrubby meadows on rolling hills as we drove along - much prettier than the dead, sandy, littered roadsides of Arizona.
We stopped for lunch in Roswell, but didn't see any aliens. We were still in authentic Mexican food territory, and had a very good lunch at Geli's Café, although the location and ambiance were lacking. It was rated 4.9/5 so I guess that doesn't matter to the regular customers!
I took over driving after lunch and the drive was pretty smooth. The surroundings changed as we approached and crossed into Texas - many oil well heads, wind generators, and fields of irrigated crops. Also, we crossed into the Central Time Zone so clocks changed. We watched the weather radar because we could see storms all around us, and eventually we caught up with one. Speed limit was 75 mph so I was cruising along at 83 until we hit it and I slowed down. It was a heavy but short storm so not a problem, and we got to our hotel in San Angelo and checked in, had some wine, and headed to Whataburger for sandwiches. Brought them back to the room and hung out for a bit before bedtime. Tomorrow we are headed to San Antonio!
P.S. I didn't mention this before, but I started having headaches a few days ago and it turns out I had altitude sickness. So, I had to drink lots of water, which made numerous pit stops necessary! Anyway, we are slowly making our way closer to sea level so hopefully that is all behind us? Elevation is 1844 ft here, compared to Santa Fe at 7,199!
