Outside Albuquerque, NM 9.28.08

We made the drive from Wichita Falls, TX to a town just outside Albuquerque, NM. We saw lots of rolling hills and the tallest buildings were either water towers or grain towers! There were camel, donkey, & livestock farms. The people are so friendly out here! Of course driving the ERV we're often asked where we are going or where we came from!

We stopped in Texas at 'The Big Texan' Restaurant/Hotel. It's there that they have a 72oz steak dinner that if you can eat in 1 hour, it's free! Of course it's a 72oz steak, baked potato, side salad, dinner roll, & 4 fried shrimp. While we were there, 2 gentlemen were attempting - one made it (with seconds to spare) and one didn't. The guy who made it was a slim, tall, & lanky guy & the one who didn't was a large guy! And they were up on a stage while they ate! They even have a webcam! Check it out...www.bigtexan.com The waitress said 1 in 7 make it. And if you don't eat it within 1 hour, it's $72.

2 more days until California!
