Awake 5:50 am Temp 52 Light rain overnight @ Newell campground
Leave the Newell campground @ 9:05am. Rolling down the highway, our bus is
a lot quieter than before. Interesting how one can get accustomed to
something like a noise & not realize that noise gets just a little louder
each day.
Route 69 South to Interstate 40 is smooth but slow & not the best way to
be heading West because it sort of zig-zags down to I-40 & there are small
towns with traffic, stoplights, etc. I probably will avoid this route in
the future.
Then I-40 to Oklahoma City is rough...beyond that, there is a combination
of newly paved roads, single lane roads with construction, then more
stretches of rough road. From the Texas border to Amarillo, we have very
smooth interstate.
Arrive @ the Amarillo RV Ranch @ 6:20 pm.
9 hrs 21 min(non stop). Kathy switched seats once while we were moving so
I could take a pause for the cause.
488 miles 61.5 gallons 7.94 mph 52.9 avg speed
We are not doing any sightseeing along the way on this trip. We are
strickly driving to get there & want to have some visiting time in
Arizona before going back to Alaska.
8:30 Dinner: Italian sausage with peppers & onions, whole wheat tortilla
wrap & fresh salad.
Watch movie on cable: "Jack." Kinda good.
Lights out: 12:08 pm
