We didn't get to stop all the places I would have liked yesterday after we left Memphis because we had so many miles to cover, but I did manage to see the 2nd largest cross in the western hemisphere. In fact, I spotted it on the horizon, at night, from about 12 miles away. We got in to Amarillo last night just before 2am. This morning I awoke to the sweet sounds of Trace Adkins on the clock radio, singing the Honky Tonk Badonkadonk, in which the author wonders, "Lord have mercy, how's she even get them britches on"? Indeed.
Departure Point: Amarillo, TX
Departure Time: 10:15am
Destination: Albuquerque, NM
Miles Today: 304.9
Miles So Far: 1661.0
Today should be a pretty easy day. There's not a lot to see in between Amarillo and Albuquerque. We missed The Big Texan last night since we passed it about 1:30am. I try not to eat 72oz steaks right before I go to bed. It gives me heartburn. We'll stop at the Cadillac Ranch on the way out of town today, maybe the Mesalands Dinosaur Museum in Tucumcari, NM and the Atomic Energy Museum and Rattlesnake Museum are both in Albuquerque. Apparently there is also some sort of cable car that takes you up a mountain somewhere. We might give that a shot depending on what time we roll into town.
