I'll start... these are from day 1 of our trip... 9.5hrs of driving & still in Texas, but it was a great day. Started out, it was only about 75 degrees out; we had sweatshirts on -- who'd have believed that for July in TX. By about 1pm it wasn't cold.

Plan to get into COS around 2 or 2:30 today...

Stopped at Cadillac Ranch...

Are Cadillac's GM or MG?

Nex stop was Palo Duro Canyon -- 2nd in size to the Grand Canyon...

On the way back to Amarillo from Palo Duro, we ran across the "Route 66 Speedway" so decided to check it out... Dirt track; lots of fun!

Just passed into New Mexico and stopped for lunch. Drew picked DQ so we may be an hour later than planned... DQ is the slowest fast food place on the planet!

You know, that's just mean for those of us with another hour and a half or so of hot pavement between us and those frosty beverages!
