Sunday (5/17) We are continuing on Route 66 to Albuquerque, NM.  We had breakfast at the Big Texan, the home of the free 72 oz. steak - that is if you can eat it all and everything that comes with it in an hour (see picture.)  Along the way we came across ten Cadillac cars with their noses buried in the ground - yes, I said buried in the ground (see picture.)   The cars are from the late 1950s and early 1960s.  They are about 300 feet out in a field and are a tourist attraction call The Cadillac Ranch. The thing is you take a spray can of paint and paint whatever you want on them.  The must have been there many, many years as the layers of paint on the cars is cracking off in pieces so thick you can separate the layers of paint with your fingers.  

We arrived in Albuquerque in the evening and have set up "camp".  We will be here for six nights - a nice break from the continual setting up and taking down.  We will be spending time here with our friends Kevan and Kim, a couple we met on our Alaska trip back in 2002.  This is the six state that we have met up with them.
