3 states...two museums

Oklahoma to Texas to New Mexico!

I'm going to make it quick, mostly pics...cuz
we're going to bed soon to get up early!


it got even worse! some places were 50 @ night. :-(

I can't remember correctly,
but I think it was 'biggest cross in north america'.
only in texas!


I remember going here in the early 80's.
if you ate the 72 oz steak, it was free.
if you didn't finish, it was like $100+


KABUKI!!!!

then new mexico:

the first real 'mountain' i'd seen in over a week!!!

and it looked like a boob!
-----
they were hanging powerlines!
it was cool to see how they did it,
cuz we'd never though about it.

the UNSER racing museum.

I took a lot of pictures of old race cars, but I'm only giving you 2 now

then the J & R Vintage Auto Museum




a lot of very cool cars and a few trucks.
----------------
and now were aprox 16 miles from the NM/AZ border
tomorrow we're going to leave early and make a run
for phoenix, to go to the penske museum.
------------
last but not least, let me tell you about the city
we're in now. I can't memeber the name this second,
but it sucks.
Gallup - I just looked it up on googlemaps
we're at a motel with a spanish name.
we ate at a mexican restaurant tonight
that sucked so hard my dad gave the guy
7 minutes of what-for when paying.
'new mexican restaurant' is what the guy called it.
if 'new mexican' means ONLY ground beef in
every thing from burritos n tacos to enchiladas,
you can keep it! to make matters worse, when
waking across the street to the place, I thought
'I finally don't need to bring my tapatio!!'
(which I've been caring around for I don't know
how many states now)
I get my food and ask...WRONG.
they don't even know what any of the 3 major
hot sauces I named were.
complete puzzled look!
I'll take a picture of the place tomorrow and add it.
------
oh, and the motel!!!!
we open the door and find there's no table!
so we moved some stuff around and made one:

that's it for tonight. got to get some shuteye.
goodnight, from gallup, an indian reservation/army
munitions dump/new mexican city...
