Mesa Verde has incredibly friendly staff and a stellar bathroom. This is one of the few places that actually has showerheads! Instead of feeling like I was in a dorm, it felt like using a  normal house shower. Unfortunately there is little Verde around. We were in the newer part of the park, and it felt like a parking lot. There is no green between the spots, and no amenities like picnic tables or shelters. The park is right by the highway but suffers no highway noise. 

Getting used to the road!

City

Lubbock, TX

Lubbock is a much larger town than it lets on. They have two Targets! Unfortunately we were unable to explore it as we had freezing temps for most of the trip and going out on the motorcycle when it is cold out is miserable. That said, the people we met were friendly and eager to speak to us once they learned that we were not from here.

Restaurant

We went out to Joe’s Crab Shack for my birthday dinner, but we really want to only discuss local establishments instead of chains. Shout out to Bailey, our server. We hope you get to Colorado and NYC, and all the places you want to visit.

Ron tries Big Red for the first time… with mixed results
