Should have known that cutting across country on backroads would not be faster for us.
All those interesting places to stop and take a look.
Most of the day yesterday was just driving, across New Mexico and into Texas and oklahoma. It was about 10 last night when we decided we had had enough and stopped in Fairview, Okla.
Found a really nice hotel with an interesting design. Each room had a "back door" with a parking space literally at the door. Then the other door opened into a courtyard with a pool. Small place, cheap, and clean.
There and in Seilig, Okla., were really cool murals.
Also in oklahoma we saw a sign that said "antelope hills" so ... of course we had to go see what it was since it was not on the map. It was a great back road into the country. We did see a herd of antelope, maybe 10 of them, just hanging around in a field.
We got a lot of pictures.
We also saw a jackrabbit on that road. Hmmm, does that mean we saw a jackalope? :)
There were also a few deer.
We stopped for a bit in Santa Rosa, NM, which was interesting. Lots of old buildings and some old mission type spanish buildings.
They also have a 80-foot deep artesian well where people go scuba diving.
Anyways, good to be home.
Love being on the road though.
Ill post some pictures later on.
