We left the house at 6:30 Arizona time. Got to Albuquerque, NM about 7 hours later. Que the music... "Amarillo By Morning..."
Good Morning Amarillo!!! We got here around 7:00 local time, just 11 hours after leaving the house. Can I tell you how terrible the roads in New Mexico are - they suck ass. Nearly all of I-40 was under construction. Gotta love Texas after that!
Don't ask... I have no idea! It's some shrine or something outside of Amarillo. There are also a crap-ton of these windmills. The weather was icky... very foggy and breezy. Next stop, OK City.
THIS is what most people would call a "navigable water way". In Tucson, ours look like dried out sand beds. What is a road trip without a stop at Cracker Barrel? We stopped outside of Oklahoma City for lunch. Three more hours logged.
Don't know why I didn't think of this before this point in the trip... We only had about 200 miles left. Surprisingly, the van averaged great gas mileage. We only had to officially stop 2 times for gas. On other time we stopped for Ryan's bottle and got gas because it was cheap.
Are you feeling his love...???
OK City to Ft. Smith, AR - about 3 more hours done. Only about 75 miles to go!!!!
Now, can you explain this?? How is it that in the heart of the bible belt, where most of the counties are "dry", I can stop for a Big Mac and walk next door to a porn shop??? I don't get it! As soon as we go off the interstate and turned right to head up the mountain, we headed straight at a storm. It poured on us our last 10 minutes of the trip. Oh well - I love rain!
Rick is doing the next post... we just love Oklahoma!!! HA.

I love how Sydney will sleep anywhere and in any position. She cracks me up.
Can't wait to hear what's up with Oklahoma---a ticket maybe? Just guessing. I love Cracker Barrel.
Van? When did you guys get a van?
