We spent the last couple of days at a campground at exit 1 on I40 in the town of Texoma, OK. There is really not much to the town as we could find. There was a gas station with a small grocery that sold mostly cold beer and drinks and a restaurant that was only open part time and we did not see much business there at all.

It is still hot, over 100 degrees so we just stayed inside and kept as cool as possible with the one air conditioner. We have two but have to run the generator to use them both at the same time. So, it is either one or the other on 30A electricity.

We gained altitude as we traveled west on I 40. At one time we exceeded 4000ft. But, if really did not seem to help with the heat.

We are currently in Tucumcari, NM at the Catcus RV Park. It is located on US66, which is main street. The motel is pretty much as it was, when it was built in 1939, only deteriorated due to the elements. At one time they put awnings over the windows to keep out the morning sun. There even appear to have been garages for each motel room. Something you do not find today.
There are a lot of businesses that are closed up. Many you see along I40 that front on the frontage road, probably old US66, that are just falling down due to the passing of time. Old filling stations, restaurants, curio shops, etc. All gone and mostly forgotten.

Tomorrow we are off to Espanola, NM for the night and then on to Taos for the weekend.

Hopefully we will find some cooler weather at the higher altitudes. We have seen lots of clouds today as you can see in the photos, but nothing that really looks like rain.
