House Hunting.
Saturday, June 2
After witnessing a rollover accident and a huge semi pileup on I-40, both east of Gallup, we were ready to stop for the night. We chose the smaller casino Eagle xx in Laguna, where oddly enough was an arts and crafts show, battle of the bands concert and the final act of Quiet Riot. Also interestingly, there was a nice grocery store nextdoor to the (basically) parking lot campground, where for $11 you get full hookups. Sounds like a win win. Just don't go in the smoky casino, couldn't breathe.
The search week
Met with the ever patient Ginger on Monday to set up a plan, would be out with her about every other day or more to see what we could see, and drive by others on reconnaissance runs to determine what would stay and what would go. Did lots of shopping up and down Cerillios throughout the trip, revisiting old faves such as Jackalope and more. Didn't get as much New Mexican food this trip as Bill is sticking strickly to his Atkins, tho we did sneak in a Maria's, and he snuck in a margarita. Even went to Ginger and Larry's for dinner on Saturday, that was fun, had a lot of laughs. The weather was very hot during the day, up to about 93, so we didn't do much walking on our own. Only walked as far as Cowgirl for an early dinner -- didn't even walk to the plaza to my horror!
One house we revisited has a special name I won't repeat here, but below is the photo of us leaving it on Sunday morning after a second look.
