Whenever I ask Linda to pose for a picture during our travels, she takes the camera from me and takes my picture instead.

So, here I am, after we stopped at a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Gallup, New Mexico for a bite to eat on the first day of our journey, April 17.

The Cracker Barrel has become a favored eating place because of its many, many restaurants, scattered across the country, almost always situated in sight of the freeway. They are always reliable, clean, good food and reasonable prices.
