'Stay at Home' Quarantine road trip #3

Day 3: Albuquerque to Elk City, OK ~

Saw this hot air balloon as we were leaving Albuquerque - first thought was "extreme social distancing?" hahahah!!


Now, onto food :) Every day is different on what is and isn't available...from being able to order inside, to having to order online and pick up outside (since we can't drive thru), and today we decided to just pull into this parking area next to the highway and just eat leftovers!


Here's what Sarge normally looks like throughout the day...


 And then how he looks when it's lunchtime...


I don't get out of the RV during the day (hello, isolating!) but Dave pulled over to this rest area in Texas and said I needed to come in and see how cool it is - I said no but there were no other people there and they have an automatic sliding door so I didn't have to touch anything so I went it...it's Route 66 themed and yep, very cool. In addition to photos and historical info, they have tons of old metal signs hanging up that I think are fun:





 However, this sign outside of the museum rest stop gave me pause:


 Passed these fields of pretty purple sage:


At the campground that night we were parked coincidentally next to other Michiganders, they're returning to Grand Rapids from Arizona after cutting their trip short since all the National Parks are closed. We had a long conversation across our spaces, I'm not a good judge of distances but they were many many feet away - it was sort of us yelling across the way to communicate with them but it was nice to actually talk to people while seeing their faces!

Hi from Lucy too!!
