Santa Rosa, NM

I will try this again this morning, I have been having trouble keeping my enternet connection. From the 29th. of Sept thru Oct. 6th. we were in Calico Rock, AR. While there I did some trout fishing on the White River and Nancy visited with her Aunts. On Tues.and Fri evening we drove to Mountain View (25 miles south). We ate supper at Jo-Jo's on the White River and then enjoyed the music on the square down town. Mountain View has a lot of people that either live there or vacation there that have a lot of musical talent. There may be as many as 8 or 10 groups of people gathered together picking and singing.
On Sat. morning we headed west on US 412 toward Tulsa, OK. We spent the night east of Tulsa and then Sun. morning it was west bound on I44 to Oklahoma City were we picked up I-40 west spending the night at Amarillo, TX. Mon. morning we were west bound again for 3 hrs spending the afternoon and evening in Santa Rosa, NM. We had mail waiting for us when we got here so we caught up on things that had accumulated. We toured the Rte 66 Museum and the Blue Hole. The museum has around 30 old cars some have been highly customized. The Blue Hole is a hole around 80 ft deep and about that wide that has a spring in the bottom of it. The water is really blue looking. It has rock formations around it that divers use for diving. In three days we have traveled from the wooded Ozark mountains through the flat farm lands of Oklahoma and Texas to the rolling scrub and grass covered grass lands of eastern NM.
Today we will drive to Albuquerque, NM for the balloon festival.
