And yes, I did have some crud on my lens that I didn't notice... But this was pretty much the first time I ever used my new camera, so I think it's forgivable.

Newkirk, New Mexico. This is not the first time I stopped for gas at this little "town." A few winters ago my friend Clare and I drove cross-country, and we stopped here just after an ice storm had blanketed all the grass white and prickly. It was nice to explore in better weather. This is the old church.
The functional gas station is north of I-40, this one is south of I-40.

Ditto.
An abandoned cattle corral (?) is next to the abandoned gas station.

Clinton, Oklahoma. I was intrigued by signs indicating a "historic district" but I got distracted by beautiful old buildings.

Okemah, Oklahoma - birthplace of Woody Guthrie. I've stopped here once before but never for an extended stint at sunset.

Day 2, I stopped for lunch in Jackson, Tennessee. After that Blake and I walked a bit around Casey Jones Village. Blake, my dog, has never really seen tall grass before; he's from Santa Fe, and any time he has come East with me, it has been winter. Needless to say, he's a bit enthralled.
