Two Long Days

Friday and Saturday saw us travel over 600 miles each day with overnights in Childress, Texas and Farmington, New Mexico. There's lots to tell you about but it will take a couple of days to find the time and get the pictures posted.

We had lunch Friday at another of my favorite places, Jason's Deli in Shreveport, then spent about three hours with uncle Donny, aunt Sharon, Rhonda and her daughter Amanda, Sharon's mom and two dogs in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Didn't make it to the hotel until nearly 2am.

Lunch Saturday was at a special place too, The Big Texan in Amarillo, Texas. It's home to the 72 ounce steak that is free if you can eat it all in an hour. My steak was much smaller and we were still there over two hours by the time we took all the pictures and shopped.

On a sad note, we drove up on a fatal accident just after leaving Cadillac Ranch on the west side of Amarillo, the man driving the Honda was pronounced dead at the scene and his passenger is listed in critical condition, the occupants of the Ford truck were not seriously injured.

A delay caused by a Dairy Queen that required both of us to eat a chocolate covered strawberry waffle bowl nearly made taking a picture at the state capitol in Santa Fe, New Mexico a flash only event. There's just not enough time in a day to eat ice cream and take pictures too.

Arrived at the hotel in Farmington just before midnight and have to get an early start today, a stop in Provo, Utah then up to Pocatello, Idaho.

Only 1500 more miles to go.
