SANTA FE, NM - - Saturday's weather was rainy and windy, but much better than we expected as we finished crossing Arkansas and moved into Oklahoma. One bright spot was at a gas stop where we decided to try Mama T's BBQ. We not only got a good lunch, but Lydia was presented with a rose for Mothers Day.
The weather cleared on Sunday and while crossing the Texas Panhandle, a crop duster was dodging the vanes in a forest of wind turbines. Unlike the rest of Texas, the panhandle is less the 200 miles wide along I-40. With a 75 mph speed limit, it's just a rolling, boring ride.
Our first travel objective is always crossing the New Mexico border. Then, it feels like summer vacation is really here. Villa Nueva State Park is a mainstay for an overnight stop on our way to Santa Fe. Some nasty-looking clouds made it look like we were in for rain...something the park rangers were hoping for.
Monday morning dawned bright, clear and 44-degrees. It felt good.
