ROAD TRIP TO VENICE DAY 5

Finish of Day 4, we had dinner @ "Irene's" they kept it open for us @8:30pm. Nice dinner.

Day 5 - Left Benson, AZ @ 8:15 am. Headed for New Mexico to Texas, Ft. Stockton. About 500 miles.

A Big red truck tried to run us off the road, that was scarry!!! When we stopped in Lordsburg, the red truck also stopped, we approached him, and he denied everything.

Just before NM the view was beautiful of red rounded rocks, one looked like a giant chair looking over the horizon.

Then an exit, NM, Las Cruces was called "Truth or Consequences", name after the TV show.
The drive from there was flat, flat, flat!!!

We had lunch in El Paso, TX, where the wind was blowing dust all over. This town is on the border of Mexico, you could see the border fence and the houses on the rocky ledges. We had a difficult time, with much a do, but had lunch. Arizona somehow came out of his harness and went under a car, saved by the tail.

Dinner @ "K-Bob's" in Ft. Stockton, TX, we ordered and were waiting over a half an hour, but the fellow back of us fell out of his chair and sent the neighboring table with dishes, drinks, etc. all over us, so we had to move to eat. We did have some good wine "Ste. Genevieve", so bought some for later. Dinner was so so!!!

Steve went to get some ice so they could have a drink, no "Meyers rum" at the restaurant. He went to the ice machine on the first floor out of order, but the candy machine worked. Then went up stairs and the ice machine worked, but the candy of out of order.

Time for bed, Kathy got the room with the jetted tub, so she is enjoying that tonight. I enjoyed the hot tub last night.
