Day 8 - Albuquerque to Tucumcari, New Mexico


Last night we spent the night in a retro Airstream camper at the Enchanted Trails RV Park.  We have stopped there several times in our motorhome.  We had been thinking about downsizing, but now I think we may be happy with a 40 foot motorhome.  It was very cute and tastefully decorated.   It was small and the bed was slightly larger than a twin size.  We did not have a heater and it was cool last night.  It was on my bucket list to stay in a retro trailer....check that one off!






We drove Route 66 through downtown Albuquerque and it had road work most of the way.  There is a movement to improve Route 66 so that is a good thing.  We love the vintage motels and businesses along the way.





A storm chased us from Albuquerque to Santa Rosa.  The radar shows major storms coming our way.
We drove through several rain storms and decided to stop early tonight in Tucumcari. 




We stopped in Santa Rosa at a Route 66 Museum.  They had a huge room full of cars.  I will post a few.  After all, how many pictures of cars can one have.  Is 740 too many???  I am reallllly glad Mike did not want a new corvette!

We left our motor home at Grand Lake and spent a few days at Pat and Mike's home in Broken Arrow.  Astrid caught a ride with Michelle's in-laws, Mark and Cheryl, who also have an RV.  They were visiting Scott and Michelle and was passing our way on their way to Branson for a Rally.  Pat and Mike's granddaughter, Madison, is Astrid's age and they had a lot of fun.  They put miles on a little scooter. And had a sleep over.

We made a side trip to Mt. Airy, North Carolina.  This is where Andy Griffith was born and the Andy Griffith Show was fashioned after this town.  We toured the Andy Griffith Museum.  It was a trip down memory lane.  It was amazing how much we remembered form those shows. It was a fun stop and recommend for you to stop by if you are in the area! We went up one side and down the other side of Main Street and ate at Barney's. Floyds Barber Shop was closed....
