Tales from the road: rrrr goes to CBBB

[rrrr]

OK, so yesterday I found out my wife thinks 3 PM means "anytime between 3 and 7 PM".
So we only made it to Childress, TX last night, 160 miles from Amarillo. Got up this morning and headed out, stopped in Tucumcari and had lunch. Del's Diner is on old Route 66, I had green chile stuffed sopaipillas. Oh Gawd, it's heaven.....
Back in the Ex, made it to Albuquerque around 4 PM. Had dinner with the folks, and tomorrow we will be leaving around 3 PM. Prolly stay in Holbrook, then roll into the Avi around 4.
Who's gonna have KOBEER ready????
:D :D :D

[Debbolas]

We will have cold coors down at the sandbar/channel.......it's a scavenger hunt kind of thing....LOL :D

[mbrown2]

Sounds like a great trip...hopefully you will get to enjoy yourself at Avi after that long commute...I get out to Plano about 4-5 years...normally by plane though.. :)

Tomorrow morning we are going out to the Tijeras Canyon to meet Dick Ralstin. Dick has been in racing for 60 years...
Should be a rare treat. Check out his story.....

I'll have a cold one for you Friday when you pull in, just come on down to the beach.
The Ranch House on the west end of Gallup, just off I-40 has the best huevos rancheros and green chile jerkey around.

I would say that is a treat indeed. He is a true pioneer. We all should pay more homage to our older generation because these very people are the ones that have shaped this world. Enjoy your visit... :D v-drive

Really like the ON-ROAD updates, the fun has just begun and we will have a cold one for you at the AVI. On the beach or lounge at night.
Drive Safe and see you this weekend :)

[dmontzsta]

We should all stand and clap as he pulls in. :D hahaha

[JET-O-VATOR]

I Think He Wins The Longest Trek Award Forsure.....

Latest news from the road! We put in at Topock on Sunday, ran down to the Sandbar. Unbelieveable how beautiful it is. Since we got there late, most people had left.
Uh, I DID see a big orange and white boat go by around 5 PM with lots of brown skinned lovelies, but the driver never acknowledged me waving....prolly saw my haircut and figured I was one of them Texas rednecks. Chicken. :D :jawdrop:
We left Monday and drove to Phoenix. Spent the night with a racing buddy that also sells JC pontoons. Anyone need a 'toon with a 496 Mag?
Now we are back in Albuquerque, going to spend the night and most of tomorrow. Thursday morning we will be in Clarendon, TX to pick up the beyoochin' '66 Ford F100 we spotted on the way out. It will be the perfect tow vehicle for the flattie.
Me and Fonda had a awesome weekend. The folks we met were great, had fun talking with everyone. I think some of you guys figured out that having me around when fireworks are present is a reeeeeealy bad idea.... :D :D

[JetBoatRich]

Glad you made it home safely, good to meet you :D and help you keep those lake lice from your boat, better yet the guy that sat on your boat eating Doritios :mad:

[AngryJosh]

Yeah Ron, It was great meeting you although I never did get a ride in that boat. :( Maybe next year. Were glad you made it home safe, take care

LOL, yeah, it was SYA. Of course, maybe he couldn't see the shoreline because there were so many of 'em in the boat....:D :D
