Tulsa---Santa Fe
Ta da~ out of Oklahoma, brand new "curtains" for the van. Cardboard edged in black duct tape with the old curtains stapled on. They snap-fit over the windows like a charm.
As pictured.
Some amazing cloud cover getting through Oklahoma towards
Texas in the morning..
Spent the night, 8-9 hours after departing from Tulsa, on the Texas-New Mexico border. There was snow on the ground, until I got out I thought it was sand. In the dark, to a Floridian... well. It got down to 9 degrees that night, I woke up to frost on the INSIDE of the van windows. Brrr.
A little one-horse town off of Route 66, with this great old church.. My fingers nearly froze off taking these pictures, the wind was very strong today.
And more.
Route 66 cafe on historic 66 in Santa Rosa NM, I had a hamburger, and did a sketch of the interior.
Here it is: The Road. Hwy 66. I drove on the snow for six miles, got nervous when I didnt see an exit, wussed out and turned back. It was running parallel to I-40 anyway, same scenery, less snow.
In Las Vegas, NM, at a gas station
Closer to Santa Fe, on the Santa Fe Trail, route 25.
More Santa Fe Trail.
Won't post the Tulsa pictures till later, they need heavier sorting.
