The goal for this day was to get to Austin, so we left pretty early for the long-ish VFR flight to Stephenville, TX to have lunch at Hard 8 BBQ. Leaving Santa Fe is truly leaving the mountains behind. One small diversion around a mountain and then it's basically flat and descending terrain for 3 hours. We flew over Four Corners and very slightly into Colorado, but overall it's amazing staying at a constant altitude and watching the very flat ground get continually further away. Landing in Stephenville was easy, just a busy VFR destination. We walked to the BBQ since nobody was around at the airport when we arrived. The BBQ was excellent, and they gave us a ride back to the airport in a courtesy van. Fortunately the fuel was also cheap!
