A quiet rest area along I-40 in eastern New Mexico, this was a good stop for a break. The rest area separates the cars and the trucks with the restroom structure in between.
There is a historical marker here which reads, "Rising above these red-earth lowlands to the south is the Llano Estacado or Staked Plain, a high plateau covering some 32,000 square miles in eastern New Mexico and adjacent areas in Texas. Topographically, it is one of the flattest areas in the United States, and rises to 450 feet above the surrounding great Plains."
I was not yet ready to stop for the night but this would be a worthy spot in my Sprinter van.
