Wow, today was a great travel day, and we saw some interesting things. This is our 3rd night and I think we’re half way across the country.
We’re enjoying relaxing mornings in the hotel room. We don’t really sleep in, but sleeping until 7:30 and getting on the road at 10 am makes for a relaxing schedule. Our first stop was about 20 minutes down the road in the direction of Sandia Peak, New Mexico. Tinkertown museum! According to the pictures on the website, it looked like the museum was full of interesting bits of artwork. Unfortunately, I missed the part that says it’s only open April through October.
Well, now we’ll have more time to screw around somewhere else. Like at Truck Stops. Today I-40 was lined with billboards. A few hours east of Albuquerque I was thinking a cup of coffee might be a good idea and Clines Corners (exit 218) had irresistible billboards that drew me in. We bought some over priced coffee and slushys, then browsed the huge store filled with interesting trinkets. The kids had fun looking at and pointing out things, but never asked to buy anything. I was prepared to buy a magnet, but Genny said we didn’t need one. So I took a picture instead.
By exit 369 the coffee and slushys were getting to us and we needed another stop. Russell’s Truck and Travel center was sitting by the highway ready to take care of us. On the way to the restroom we saw a cherry red Jeep. Eric has brainwashed us all enough to spot it immediately.
It looked exactly like the little white one in the garage at the cabin, except since this one lives in a museum, it pretty much looked like a museum piece.

Late in the afternoon we left New Mexico and crossed into Texas. In 1986 my mom and I drove from Florida to Oakland, CA. There I flew to Hawaii, my first duty station in the Navy, and shipped the car. All I could ever remember about Texas is that the sun rose and set twice before we were finished driving through the state. In 1986 we took I-10. I thought that this northern route would take us through a smaller part of the state. Looking at the map, scooting along the southern edge of Oklahoma, is about the same distance as straight across the 10.
Just before Amarillo, TX, there is this cool Cadillac Ranch. Wikipedia has all kinds of interesting facts about this art project. For us, it felt good to stretch out legs for a bit and walk out through the field.
The kids didn’t have to think twice or ask what to do. When they saw the big pile of half empty spray paint cans, they went to work. Everyone out there was painting pictures and their names on the cars. There were no dirty words or rude symbols either.
I couldn’t even guess how thick the paint was on these cars, but Genny did point out the stalactites dripping off the undercarriage.
Even though the museum was closed, all of our stops were definitely worth our time and I’m glad we didn’t miss them. The last few hours of our drive, each motel we passed I wished was our stop, but we pressed on to Wichita Falls and by 10 pm we were stretched out on the beds. Today we listened to News for Dogs. It was a riveting story about entrepreneurial kids, responsibility of honesty in public statements, detective work, and loyalty.
