We left Holbrook, Az. to go back to Albuquerque for some good Mexican food. We spent the afternoon in Old Town, shopping and eating. Albuquerque and Santa Fe are two of my favorite cities. The next morning we started the long ride to San Antonio, spending most of the day on Rt 285 from I-40 to I-10. As we thought it was a very unpicturesque
ride. The landscape went from stubby bushes and dead grass to no bushes
and dead grass. The few small town that we saw were mostly deserted with empty gas stations, restaurants amd stores. But we covered over 400 miles and spent the night in Ft. Stockton, Tx.The next morning, we made the left to get back on I-10. We drove for a mile or so, thinking this was a long entrance ramp. Soon a barrier appeared and a dirt path to the highway. So, IF we missed the real entrance ramp we were not the first. We'll never know---we have no intention of ever being there again.
I-10 proved only slightly more interesting than 285, with not many more towns. The highlight was seeing AJ's tour truck heading back to Nashville. When we were in Vegas, we had seen the ads for his November performance. Unfortunatedly, AJ was now where to be found.
