Las Cruces, NM

After a long day of driving, we have finally arrived at our destination: Las Cruces, New Mexico.

A few notes:

- The Best Western (the one called "A Wayfarer's Inn") in Kingman, Arizona, has an excellent continental breakfast. Waffles, biscuits and gravy, oatmeal, cereal, bagels, danishes, scrambled eggs, sausage... and on top of actually HAVING these items, they actually tasted GOOD (well... at least the ones I had, ie waffles, eggs, sausage).



- Arizona has In-N-Out Burger restaurants in a few places. So that was lunch.










- Apparently, in New Mexico, truckstops and Dairy Queens are a "classic" combo, and huge signs advertising a "Free hot dog with fueling" are common. Evidently, the people of New Mexico (or at least those traveling through NM) find some sort of appeal in this. Quite frankly, I would rather eat a 7-11 hot dog than one that comes "free with fueling."


- Judging by the frequency with which it appeared along New Mexico roads, "ZERO Visibility Possible" was Bill Richardson's favorite roadsign.

I don't understand "ZERO" visibility when everything I've seen in New Mexico is flat and open, except the mountains.

And before Gwinn, the best waffles I ever ate came from a continental breakfast. I never bother to ask who made the batter or for how many hours it sat in the lobby, I just enjoyed the waffles themselves.

I have the same opinion with most of your points, however some need to be discussed further, I will hold a small conversation with my buddies and maybe I will look for you some opinion shortly.
