Route: Albuquerque, NM to Elk City, OK – 432 miles
We did three states and two time zones today! We’re on pace to get to Little Rock on Monday to meet an old friend and to meet the movers on time in Bloomington. Let me first stay that I have never been in wind as strong as it was today. I nearly got blown off of my feet at a bizarre rest stop in New Mexico. They had a stuffed bobcat for sale. There was some more snow on the side of the road today, but it wasn’t enough to dance in.
There’s a cool dinosaur museum in Tucumcari, NM. Andy negotiated a discount on the admission fee because I’m almost a student. We crossed through Texas next and stopped for a bit in Amarillo, where I had my first Starbucks in 3 days. Gingersnap is like crack to me. We also browsed the gift shop at The Big Texan, where they give you a free 72 ounce steak if you can finish it in under an hour. That would straight up kill me.
We made it to Elk City, OK for the night, which is pretty much as far as we could go without killing each other. We hope to make it to either Fort Smith or Little Rock tomorrow night.
NOTE: Photos and videos are taking forever to upload – will put in different posts.
