GALLUP ON ROUTE 66

We traveled most of the morning and arrived here at Gallup at the USA RV Resort around lunch time.Yesterday we were at the American RV Resort, so we are really being very patriotic! We are at a lower elevation, around 6000 feet, and it seems to be a little cooler here. It was so windy around 6:00 that one of our tail-light lenses blew right off. Luckily, Jim found it and it wasn't broken. Just another adventure in motor homing.

This is a picture looking out the front windshield. Pretty awesome! We're in a brand new site on a new gravel pad. Kathe asked if we were away from the numerous train tracks we saw as we checked in. The desk clerk said that were were as far away as possible.  He forgot to mention the airport and the planes landing right over our heads. The planes are small, so maybe they won't be flying at night. If it isn't one thing, it's another!

Everyone we talked to in Albuquerque raved about a famous hotel/restaurant here in Gallup called, El Rancho.  It has quite a famous history and many movie stars stayed there in the 40's and 50's. Tonight Jim made reservations for a special dinner there but they were very disappointed with the food and the service. The hotel was really old but the decor was interesting.  There was a Native American woman weaving a rug in the lobby. The hotel was decorated just like it was when all the movie stars stayed there. Very rustic.
