August 21st-El Reno, OK-Tucumcari, NM

We left Oklahoma for Texas.  On the way we saw 2 ghost towns Texola OK and Glenrio TX.  Ghost towns due to the introduction of the new I40 interstate and less use of Route 66.  Glen Rio had a very OLD historical jail.  We stopped at the route 66 museum. Dad farm machinery pix are for you.  Karen, the quilt pix is for you.  Mom, the Cross pix is for you.  That was cool.  Took lots of pictures.  We hit Texas and absolutely LOVED the views.  Saw the world’s largest cross and the stations of the cross were there.  It was a great testimony to Christ without anyone preaching a word! Loved it.   We stopped at Cadillac Ranch.  There we these Cadillac cars stuck in the ground starting in 1974 and apparently anyone can take a  can of spray paint along and paint on them.  Ray loved it.  One of those great unusual Rt 66 side trips. :) All along the way as we travel the interstate in some places and Rt 66 in others, you can see dead ends and remnants of Rt 66.  Well maintained and gravel or dirt areas. Old signs from old times gone by but it was a reminder of the old days along the way.  This is the kind of nostalgic things we love to see along with the beautiful views.  We hit New Mexico and the vistas were beautiful.  Tired and pooped out we stopped for the night.   Tomorrow is more New Mexico and if we are lucky we will make it to Arizona.  We were worried it was going to be hot but today was beautiful and high was 76.  Nice wind, sun and views.  Thank the Lord.  Couldn’t have asked for better!  Not sure what Arizona holds for us though but we shall see!!  More New Mexico to come!
