Let us know where you ate and slept for ideas for future trips when you get back.
aight,
Thursday, Tucumcari NM
Blue Swallow MOTEL, heavy on the Rte 66 theme. Old motor court. Small room, very clean. Sheets and towels are several grades above normal motel fare.
$70. Parked the truck there until my return. Highly recommend.
Pow Wow diner. Had the taco plate, no complaints. Would eat there again.
Kix on 66. Breakfast. Good food and plenty of it.
Friday, Cortez Colorado
see above for breakfast
fast food somewhere for lunch
crackers and peanut butter in the room. After 500 plus miles I didn't feel like looking for dinner so I broke into the emergency rations
Beny's for breakfast. It was fine, nothing special. I'd eat there again too.
White Eagle Inn (Cortez)
older property in immaculate shape. Pictures on Trip Advisor didn't do it justice. Large room, definitely stay there again if in Cortez. $70
Saturday and Sunday, Gunnison Colorado
ABC Motel. Older property, perfectly acceptable. Large rooms, a little dark.
First night upstairs double, $80
2nd night downstairs king, @72
Ate at Ole Miners first night. I admit it, I'm a steak snob. The ribeye was ok, acceptable I guess best describes. Beans were straight out of pork and beans can, bread was heat and serve rolls. Meh, not that great. $30 something with 2 beers, not including tip. Probably look elsewhere next time.
Mario's pizza the 2nd night. Very good. Personal pizza and a salad.
The W for breakfast. Sorry Drew, I don't see the allure. You get plenty of food and it's mostly good. The hash browns were mostly done. Service was SLOW and there were more empty tables than occupied. Toast came several minutes after I had started my meal.
Ate a bbq sandwich in Pitkin. Surprisingly good. I've had far worse in Texas. Owners are from Westfalia and were shocked I knew where that was.
Monday, Ouray Colorado.
River's Edge Motel. I caught a special, $65. Small room, immaculate. Definite stay again
Maggie's Kitchen for a cheeseburger. Way above average. $10 or there abouts with fries(homemade) and a drink. I recommend
