Day Seventeen

After a day off yesterday, today was back in the car once more.

We packed up and headed out of Amarillo on I40. Had to travel over two hundred miles on it. Saw the famous Cadillac Ranch as we left.

Why I don't know
It is basically some cars half buried vertically. We drove by and took a photo. Others had stopped. Not sure why you would bother. We carried on. Not much happened. We had a game of Fuel Gauge Roulette, where you countdown the miles left to the gas station and the miles the fuel gauge says you have left. Ann made me take the sensible option, stopping with 30 miles worth of fuel left. I wanted to go all the way until our lunch stop which was another 20ish miles, but that was vetoed.

We stopped for fuel at the Flying C Ranch. Very odd place.

We stopped for lunch at the world famous (?) Clines Corner. http://www.clinescorners.com/ It used to be situated on Route 66, until it became defunct.

We bought some stuff in the gift shop to update our kitchen décor.

We kicked on and travelled north on a highway. This meant the views were much better.

More Like It
We arrived at Santa Fe around 4pm. We had gained a hour as well as we switched time zones.

Spent some time in our room researching stuff for tomorrow, before heading out for dinner at Denny's. Food was fine, but we had to wait forever to get the bill and pay. I started thinking about just getting up and leaving, but eventually we managed to get out. Went for a drive to downtown Santa Fe to have a nose. Probably will go back during the day tomorrow.
