Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ Is Lord Not A Swear Word

(Name of gas station in Texas)

Rest Area

Wow, we just stopped at the nicest rest area ever, somewhere in Texas. Why doesn't anywhere else have rest areas this nice?

Hitchhiker's Guide

Sudden realization: The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy predicted reality shows decades before they came into vogue.

(Sometimes it's nice to have a nice long drive where your mind can just run through random nonsense).

Motel Soap

Motel soap and water make you grateful for the small things, like REAL soap and water. And please don't even mention the shampoo.

Hotel Towels

Apparently the new way of preventing theft of hotel towels is making them so undesirable that no-one would even want to take them.

Tucumcari

We stayed here in a place off of Route 66, which here is just an avenue. Hard to believe that this was once THE street that took people out west. This place seemed to have a historic or resort feel, or at least tried to. Everything had Route 66 blazoned all over it. But even after visiting here it is hard to remember the name of this town. Motel 6 was almost $50, which seemed slightly expensive.

New Mexico

So we drove down I-40, part of the old Route 66, and into New Mexico. There were a lot of pretty rocks and mountains that we saw along the way, much more scenic than I anticipated.
