Gallup through New Mexico

Well we hung around Arizona too long and hit New Mexico at dark (didn't quite get the whole picture).  Our plan was to stay at the Gallup Wal-Mart.  We got there and of course went in, it was HUGE, everything, and everybody we have never seen such lines, even at Christmas!  So we shop around and picked everything out and John would come back in the morning while I cooked breakfast.  He even picked out a new fancy bike!  We went back to the motorhome and went to bed...for about 20 minutes.  The traffic was so noisey and the trains...mylanta Jane!!!!   So John moved us but all be could find were dirt roads, lots of dogs and some scarey looking characters.  It was midnight, John Galluped all the way to Grants New Mexico, could not find the Wal-Mart but the Lion Inn parking lot was just fine,and quiet!

Well here's the Wal-Mart!  Very small, John runs in and buys his bike while I cook breakfast.
 Bacon, Eggs, Toast and even Hash Browns

This is the not so grand very muddy Rio Grande!
