Hey Texas

Greetings everyone from Amarillo, Tx. I am 3/4 of my way to buena vista, colorado! one more day on the road and i'll be at trail west for the summer.

my traveling has been going well so far. yesterday i made the long treck to little rock to spend the night with kathy cobb. i hit the road about 7am and had smooth sailing all the way to nashville, where i hit some pretty icky traffic. after spending over an hour getting a mile down the road to the next exit, i got off and b-lined it to the nearest bathroom. i then treated myself to an orange cream slush from sonic :). i chatted with a lady in the gas station bathroom line and she told me i could get on this side road that would take me a few miles down the interstate, and maybe i would get around wahtever was blocking it. it worked! and after that it was straight on to little rock. let me tell ya... tennessee is a LONG state haha. and interstate 40 is long and straight. i do like the 70mph speed limit though!

since i didn't really have anything to get to amarillo for i took it easy this morning and visited with kathy over a cup of coffee. i also took a nice long lunch break at chick fil a outside of oklahoma city. other than a little bit of rain on the arkansas/oklahoma border, the weather was absolutely beautiful and i was able to have my windows down for intervals of time (i had to close them perdiodically to give my ears a rest).

so here i am at the super 8 in amarillo, watching bruce almighty on the television and surfing the net. i'm thinking about finding a grocery store and getting alittle something to eat.

i'm not sure what the internet situation is going to be like at trail west but, i'll update when i can and keep you up with the fun things we get to do!
Love you all
