Traveling thru OK, TX & NM to CO

Hello Readers,
Here's a quick post to let you know we have arrived in South Fork, CO thru Oklahoma, then Texas, then New Mexico from Yukon, OK.

Oh, side note:  I was driving to the next available Rest Area inside Texas when it was CLOSED so the next one was the Information /Tourist Center so I'm thinking OK, this can work -- but it was not easily accessible so I am driving through Amarillo at lunch time -- Lucky Me!!! Darrel is reading the map and says, do you see Loop 335 and I say yes, right there so I swing the truck and trailer over 2 lanes to exit!!!  Exciting!!!!  But it did make the loop around downtown Amarillo.  I finally got to pull over near Dumas, TX and I said, once again, "I'm done"!!!

We overnighted at Clayton, NM and the best thing I can say about our stay was the 87 Diner which was a fantastic place to eat.  The campground had 50AMP service and an OK shower house but the amenities were few.

The next morning (Aug. 3) we traveled a 1,000 foot elevation increase over 80+ miles so it didn't seem to much of a pull (past the Volcanic Mountains) -- I have pictures that I took hanging out the window -- seemed the best way since you don't pull over with Zoe!!!

We gassed up at Renata, NM and then climbed into and thru Trinidad, CO before turning west on Hwy 160 at Walsenburg to head towards South Fork, CO.

We arrived in South Fork by 2:00pm (MT) as we changed to MT in Clayton, NM.  So gained that hour of drive time.  Of course, we arrived in rain from Monte Vista, CO (about 30 miles out), nothing new for the traveling Pendergasts!  Darrel drove the entire way, Happy Susan.

I'm hanging out the back window this time -- so you see the front of Zoe

So we are here, and I'll post another update of our location for the next 2 months.  We depart Oct. 1 for Congress, AZ.

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy catching up with the....
