Made our way to Albikwerkie and stopped at a couple quilt shops we found last year. Gas and food. Fun spot called Wecks. They're open for breakfast and lunch. 50's/60's decor and lots of movie posters. Good food. Great customer service skills. The manager greeted us as we were led to our table. He also checked on our lunch as he walked by to meet with a newer employee. We commented on his skills to our waitress. She said they all just love him. Was nice to see!
Left there between 2/2:30 to head to Holbrook. Just going out of town the overhead electronic sign said all lanes closed at Gallup. It was 49 degrees....what? We knew there was snow coming, but had no idea why the road would be closed. Lois kept driving; I kept searching the weather channel. Yep, severe weather at the Continental divide. Just east of Grants, NM, you could see a wall of white. Another electronic sign saying all lanes closed just west of Gallup. Decided to get off in Grants and went to the visitor center. He showed us where we were and the reports he was getting. Didn't sound good at all. I-40 was closed due to so many accidents. Travel at your own risk. Snow packed and slippery. Let's just call it a day-a short one-and get a room now. We might not get to Gallup, which was the next area with hotels. We checked in and moved in for the night. Ordered pizza and just watching tv tonight. The Boys are relaxing with Lois' valentine.
