Our travels today continued thru more of Texas.

We are staying in Tijeras, New Mexico at Mountain Leisure RV Park (a Passport America Park – which means half price – :-)).  We will be here until Wednesday morning when we head to the Balloon Fiesta.

The rest of the day I just rested.  I have come down with a cold and it is in full swing – :-(((.   So I am going to take it easy over the next two days and hopefully feel better by Wednesday.

We spent a night in Dalhart. Had an excellent BBQ dinner, enhanced by the aroma of the surrounding feedlots. No need to ask "Where's the beef?" in Dalhart.

LOL!! We were lucky - the wind was blowing the other way. Lots of steak around those parts!!
