Day 2 ‘Too much Texas and Grants KOA”
We woke up with a single goal, get out of Texas. We love our state, but too much of a good thing is bad. New Mexico was the next stop on our drive West. We aimed the Dogebago toward Route 66 by way of Tucamari a town that inspired Radiator Springs in the movie "Cars". My boys were super fans of the franchise. Anytime you find yourself on the road to Cali, by way of I-40 take every opportunity you can to pull through the "Historic Route 66" side roads. Ruins of hotels and diners are relics of the road's golden past. We also met some nice Doge fans who came up to get some pics with us. We had reserved a spot at Grants KOA. As we drove we noticed a lot of black, jagged rock. My oldest said they were basalt fields (volcanic). He gave us a short geology lesson on how the area was formed. This was unexpectedly cool. This was our first time overnighting at a KOA. The staff here are very nice and helpful. They met us with fresh Otis Spunkmeyer cookies. We set up in record time, played Phase 10, and cooked dinner. It was the first time we felt like real RV'ers.
