End of day 26   Trip odometer 7387 miles

Our drive from Santa Fe, NM took us past vast ranches and definitely out of the mountains.

 
 
We stopped for lunch in the northeast corner of New Mexico in the town of Clayton.  The dining room in the historic Hotel Eklund had been renovated in 1975 using many features from its original 1892 construction.  The hotel had been an elaborate railroad hotel between Denver and Fort Worth.  It still operates as a restaurant, saloon and hotel with all the latest updates, including an elevator, Jacuzzi tubs and Wi-Fi.
Tonight we are staying in a comfortable motel room in the small town of Boise City, OK.
A couple of weeks ago we were driving through Rapid City, SD.  We heard today that they had a foot of snow there last night.  Glad we missed that!
We will be driving to Tom and Lo's in Hutchinson, KS tomorrow.  We may not have time to post on this blog again until Monday.  Have a great weekend.
