Dinosaur Bones, Tuba Players And Route 66

Today we traveled 717 miles from Little Rock, Arkansas to Santa Rosa, New Mexico.  Once again, Kirk was our driver.  He has amazing endurance!

On display at the New Mexico welcome center was a bronze cast of a dinosaur hip bone.

 

 

It was here at the welcome center that the guys were treated to a tuba player in the men's restroom.  An anonymous tooter was "practicing" in the stall while G and Kirk were trying to stifle their laughter while using the urinals.  We did not have any tooting musicians in the women's restroom.

 

We stopped for the night in Santa Rosa, NM where historic Route 66 runs through the town. 

 

 

 

 

The motel was a dive.  Our rooms had old wall AC units.  There must have been a sewer stack on the exterior near our AC unit, as it seemed to be sucking in sewer gas from outside our room.  It was too late at night to change rooms.  Slept hard.  Sewer fumes probably knocked us out!
