Eric & I Continue Our Drive East... To Amarillo, Texas

Open plains spread out
around us as Eric & I
drive east.

Another day's drive along

Interstate 40 East.

The speed limit is 

75 miles per hour

here.

Our speed is 65 miles per hour.   We always drive about ten miles per hour lower than the posted speed limit on highways.  Many vehicles pass us as Eric drives east.

The ribbon of highway

scrolls out ahead of us.

Cline's Corners Travel Center 

We slow down for roadwork.

Las Vegas, New Mexico

is that-a-way. 

Eric & I will be on the

lookout for Deer.

Maybe they are hiding
behind the bushes....

One of the Mesas Eric & I

see on today's drive.

I think this Coors Light
truck opens up into a
very large display.

The San Jon

water tower

Russell's Travel Center will

be a good place to stop &

switch drivers.

I take the wheel and give

Eric a break during our

4.5 hour drive.

Welcome to Texas

The Texas Panhandle is

Cattle Country.

Yo, Adrian!

We pass, what I think, is

a stock yard.

The cattle are standing or lying around and there don't seem to be feeding troughs, as I would expect to see in a feed lot.  The fermenting odor from a thousand cars or more is not pleasant.

Cadillac Ranch sits by
the side of the road.

Today's drive is coming

to an end....

We are ovenighting at

one of the Walmarts

in town.
