It didn't take long for us to realize we weren't going anywhere besides Tucumcari, New Mexico today. The suite was available for one more night and we took advantage of it. The motel gave us free breakfast at a restaurant down the street and the restaurant manager came and picked us up and delivered us, just like they had the night before when she also stopped at the grocery store so Craig could get some cards. The owner of the Blue Swallow, graciously, gave us a ride to the community pool. She just put a sign on the door and we loaded up. We weren't even there an hour before the kids were ready to go. Instead of calling to get a ride back to the motel, we just walked. It was 105 degrees, but felt like in the eighties. The fuel pump they installed wasn't working so we have to wait until tomorrow morning to get another one. They haven't even started on the tires or wheel bearings. Sammy is just about ill at the nits that said this vehicle was road-worthy. Thankfully, the folks at the repair shop are very nice and accommodating. I just wish their toilet wouldn't keep stopping up. There are two other RV's sitting in the same shop with the same problems as ours. A truck with a camper was sitting with a blown engine. One of the families dubbed this area the Tucumcari Triangle. I had to agree with their observation.
Our stop for two days
Sammy dubbed this the Tucumcari Auto Pros and RV park
Our shuttle from motel to restaurant
Jake had been making some kind of idiotic face, but stopped just before snapping the picture. Craig looks thrilled doesn't he? We were the only people in the Pow-Wow restaurant eating breakfast that morning.
