Gullup, NM

So day four is complete. We traveled from Oklahoma City to Gullup, NM. It was a 10 hour day through the rest of Oklahoma, the tip of Texas and most of the way across New Mexico. It was a pretty relaxing day, nothing overly exciting occurred. We went to a restaurant called the Big Texan which was featured on the Travel Channel on one of those food shows. It has a 72oz steak challenge, if you eat it in an hour it is free. No one was participating in the challenge when we were there for lunch though. New Mexico has fencing that ran along side both sides of the high way alll 300 + miles to keep the wild cattle from getting in the road. It was cool to see cattle that wasn't going to end up in the grocery store. We did see a huge slaughter house on the side of the highway :( it was really really sad, thousands of cattle packed together. That was the only downer of the day though. Oh besides the non existent Dunkin Donuts.

The closest I have come to Dunks in the last two days is a Dunks trailer truck yesterday on the highway :( Went to a Cracker Barrel for dinner tonight, that was a new experience, don't really have any of those in New England that I know of. It felt like the entire highway through New Mexico was under construction with lowered speed limits and orange cones but we didn't see one worker the whole wayyyyy. Ry and I have also been a bit disappointed in the number of cool cars on the road, the Bat-Mobile still ranks highest and it was on a trailer.

That is all from New Mexico. See everyone in Phoenix, Arizona tomorrow!
