A few weeks ago, I read with interest a Facebook post from fellow Wanderlodge owner, Dan Dial, about a steakhouse on a working ranch that he visited. He mentioned that they stayed overnight in the parking lot and could see the lights of El Paso in the distance.
When we stopped to change drivers earlier in the afternoon, I noticed that the next exit was Fabens, and that was the town name that Dan had mentioned. I looked up his Facebook post, got the name of the restaurant (Cattleman's Steakhouse), called to see if we could park for dinner and the night, got the ok, and changed our plans from driving on through El Paso today. Instead, we're staying just east of El Paso up on a hill overlooking the ranchland and El Paso beyond (we can't see El Paso yet, maybe when it gets darker it will be more obvious).

| We are doing a little cleaning on Miss Doozie and the Jeep - they are both rather filthy from the remnants of snow removal chemicals on the roads through west Texas. In this picture, we had pretty much finished what we were going to do on Miss Doozie, but the Jeep is still covered in white filth. |
Rick loves this restaurant. He said the Mayor of El Paso has taken them to eat there several times.
