on the road again

Well, stayed in Amarillo TX last night. at the Quality Inn - airport. Nice place for an overnight stay.

Last time through western New Mexico was at night. There are some BEAUTIFUL cliffs on either side of I40!

Amarillo by morning

Was going to eat @ Denny's for Brekkies, then looked at the free breakfast here. Eating here. :)

car is getting about 34mpg highway! :) was able to make it from Tempe all the way to outskirts of ABQ on 1 tank! and by how much I put in, still had about 1gal left!

on milemarker 108 in New Mexico, west of ABQ, saw a semi tractor (bobtailed) giving out LOTS of white smoke from stack. looking in rearview, when it looked like he was exiting, ALL I could see on that side of highway was a cloud of smoke!

Not gonna cut the refill that close again. Mapped out on http://www.phoenixgasprices.com/index.aspx? some fuel stops on the way to Mom's. Need to pick up a road atlas @ first stop.

Visiting Bethany and Grandma on Wednesday. Up to Pittfield Thursday night to visit with David Thursday/Friday, then homeward bound. Thinking of stopping by Kansas City, to visit Miki's grave. Haven't fully decided that yet.
