Yesterday, we drove about 300 miles, from Williams Az to Albuquerque, NM.  While driving through Grant, NM we went through the El Mapais lava field.  We thought it looked like lava, but wasn't until we got internet tonite and were able to look it up that we knew for sure.


We stayed at a casino RV park last nite, the place was nice but we just happened to arrive on the day they lost one of their servers.... so no internet.  We did go to the casino and spend some free money, and stuffed ourselves at their buffet lol

Our view at the RV park - 

Today, it seemed like we drove forever!  We went 340 miles, spent about 6 hours on the road and finally made it to Amarillo, TX.  We're staying at Amarillo Ranch RV Park... it's pretty big, lots and lots of campers.  It's so hot here, don't know if this is normal or not but I don't think we could take this kind of heat on a daily basis!

We went to dinner at a place called Big Texan, right down the road from where we're staying.  It's a huge steak house that serves huge steaks lol  Ours weren't that big... but they have this special deal.  If you can eat their 72oz steak, baked potato, and salad in an hours time... it's free!  The steak is HUGE.  There were 3 men who tried while we were there, 2 didn't make it and 1 was still working on it when we left.  They set them at a special table with a timer and everyone can watch them chow down lol  If they don't finish in an hour their dinner costs them $72! 

We were stuffed with the small steaks we had, can't imagine what these guys were feeling trying eat all that.  They have "puke buckets" next to them just in case (gag). 

Tomorrow we're going to drive as far as we can.  We have about 800 miles to go... ugh!  Hopefully we can get close to Missouri before we stop and make it home on Wed.
