| fireplace in the ruins of Fort Lancaster |
Cloudy, windy and cold in the morning at Hueco Tanks. Got out of there, backtracked to eastern edge of El Paso and by 10 or 11 had lunch at Tiger Truck Plaza where the food was good, the ladies friendly and serious especially the one sweeping the dust off the 100 feet of porch, but the setup was odd, the gifts in the sprawling gift area odd the woman sweeping and sweeping odd. All in all a good lunch stop except no propane even though there was a propane refill station all in seeming good order. Got propane later at Flying J Truck World but even there the tech conflated the woman's gas ahead of us with ours, but it was a win because I snagged a bag of fritos and a can of jalapeno cheese dip in the transaction. S driving again so she got tried of it and got us a room only 87 miles away in Ozona at America's Best Value Inn there and proceeded to try to get her nails done but no dice cause she returned and said something about at least it was a walk. Just before Ozona we took the Fort Lancaster scenic loop and did see the remains of the fort but other than the double rainbow which we could have seen from the interstate, it wasn't really super scenic. There was a near ghost town called Stafford. S says Ozona is heading down hill as well so we will make a dinner in the van parked just outside our room here at ABVI. Cold front is coming in.
