Road Trip SFO -> SAT: Day Three (LRU>SAT)
Las Cruces, NM to San Antonio, TX
Even getting up at a decent time on the last day of our journey didn’t leave us enough time to stop in at the Hatch Chile Festival; it sounded like it would be a zoo, and we were just ready to get to San Antone already! We made few stops on Day Three; gas, lunch, and to take photos of a weird contraption and a giant roadrunner in Fort Stockton.
Beep beep! (Hi Pat! I'm just for you!)
The final stop for gas was in Junction, and there were bees everywhere! All over the trashcans, covering pools of spilled soft drinks, on cars… it was creepy. JR got a cup of coffee from the convenience store, and I snapped a shot of the selection of pickled goods from Oma’s House. We got on the road again, and then this happened:
We pulled into JR’s parent’s house in Pipe Creek, TX (outside San Antonio) at 7pm, and headed to eat dinner at Patios del Lago near Medina Lake. We’re so glad to be in San Antonio, spending time with family and friends. We’ve decided that this is now our optimal route: San Francisco > Palm Springs > Las Cruces > San Antonio. The hours on the road each day are about the same, and we get in early enough to enjoy dinner and a dip in the pool at each stopover. We highly recommend both ACE PSP and Hotel Encanto – stop in if you get the chance! And as a parting gift, the brilliant fuchsia bug splat that made the last shot of our road trip to Texas:

Well, throw that thing in the trunk and bring it on with you! I’m still looking for that carved Roadrunner for the pavilion!
