Farmington, NM to Las Cruces, NM
Having spent two extra days in Colorado, we decided to have a long travel day in New Mexico to reach one of our final key attractions, Carlsbad Caverns, by Friday. We set our sights on Las Cruces, a 6+ hour drive, and the Ramada Inn that we booked via priceline.com. We reached Albuquerque a little after noon, and opted for Lin's Dynasty Buffet for lunch. We were amazed by the size of this place. Most buffets have one, maybe two rows of food to choose from. This place had five, with every type of meat available including octopus, plus a Mongolian Grill option where you chose the ingredients and a cook would whip it up in a wok. To top it off, it cost less than $10 per person with a drink order. Unbelievably full, we visited a used book store before continuing our journey down I-25. We were beyond shocked to drive through the desert in the midst of a down pour, but that is what we had from Albuquerque to Truth or Consequences. The weather cleared by the time we reached Las Cruces and we checked in to our room with a balcony. We ate sparingly at the bar in the hotel, enjoying the margarita special, and retired early.
