Day 2

It was a long day in the saddle. We drove and drove and drove; across New Mexico, across Texas, and most of the way across Oklahoma. Arrival at our destination of Tulsa came at about 9:30 p.m.
My oldest drove across Texas, and the break from behind the wheel was much appreciated by her father and I.

As we travel, we listen to audio books on my iPod. We finished True Grit and are now listening to Journey to the Center of the Earth read by Tim Curry. My son and I sit in the backseat and listen and text our girlfriend...I mean my son texts his girlfriend.

A rest area in eastern New Mexico revealed a secret. Old ranch houses nestled in the creosote and desert brush. A fence blocked us from exploring further, but the photos speak for themselves.

       

The long travel day was broken by breakfast at another Route 66 landmark....Clines Corners, NM.

After checking into our hotel in Broken Arrow, OK (Tulsa), we ate an enjoyable dinner at Applebys. Laughter was on the menu as well as the 1/2 price appetizers.

Day 3 promises to be another long travel day. Day three's goal is Manteno, IL and Rad Rides by Troy! My brother, here we come!
