Headed Back East

It wasn't surprising that many places are closed on Thanksgiving, making it that much harder to find a place to eat. I know many of you are asking, "Well why didn't you just cook?" We didn't cook because we were in the middle of nowhere and it was 4 degrees out. We ended up finding a Cracker Barrel open just outside Albuquerque, NM. Not a bad option at all when you're on the road.

There weren't many rest stops along the way so we ended up staying in the dreaded Walmart parking lot on the night/ morning of Black Friday. The inside of the Walmart was interesting, everything was saran wrapped and had a sign on it saying not for sale until 3am and others had 5am. Needless to say, I heard Larry tossing and turning at some unknown hour so I rolled over and asked him if we were going shopping. He replied with a half grumble half laugh, which I took as a no. I asked him what time it was and he said he didn't know so I checked and it was 3:30am. It sounded like rush hour in Grand Central Station...Never doing that again. Although, we were warned by Lisa and Leslie but we had no other option.

I'm pretty sure our fingers are just as happy as we are to have a bit of a rest. When you get to the point that you need to use Krazy Glue and tape to close and pad cuts and flappers on fingers and palms it's time to take a break. We are targeted to reach Knoxville, TN sometime tomorrow. The cliffs we were looking to climb are actually closed for a couple weeks due to the hunting season in that area. So we changed our plans and are looking to tackle a different area in TN.

Quote of the Day:
Larry:"Tiger Bomb" (After Larry bought Tiger Balm he's been saying Tiga Bomb like the guido in the Jager Bomb youtube video. As I type this he's said it probably a dozen times...hope it doesn't last the remainder of the trip.If you read this and have his number you should text him TIGER BOMB)

Hopefully next time we blog it`ll be much warmer. Talk to you soon.
