Today, we were up and traveling by 6. Ate breakfast at Braum’s in Sallisaw, Oklahoma. I ordered a breakfast wrap and Greg eggs and sausage- normal meal for fast food. The people were friendly, the place clean and we found it interesting that it had a small grocery store with staples at the side of the store. We stopped at a Cherokee Trading Post and I purchase a pair of sandals. About mid day the Oklahoma the landscape started changing and looking more like prairie. We had a late lunch-early supper at the Big Texan in Amarillo, TX -- the home of the 72-ounce steak. If you eat it and all the sides that come with it in one hour-you get it free. There had already been 10 men that had eaten the 72-ounce steak meal that month. A fun Texas restaurant decorated in true Texas memorabilia. We both had the 12 ounce rib eye. We would stop again.
Tonight we stayed in Grants, NM at the Super 8. I would not stay again. It was clean but that is about the only positive thing we could say. It also was $50 a night. The guy at the front desk was nice and the internet was fast.
