Arizona: windy. New Mexico: windy. Texas: windy. Oaklahoma: windy. From Eastern NM, it feels like one, continuous, never-ending state. Incredible moon rising over the ranchland, signs for fried pie outside of Amarillo, dozens of shooting stars in Oaklahoma. Tumbleweeds and reservations. We are excited to cross the Mississippi today.
Tonight’s goal: Nashville. TN
leg two: flagstaff, az to oklahoma city, ok 873 miles

I’ve never even heard of fried pie, wonder what that tastes like. Years ago we went through Amarillo and it was nothing but wind and tumbleweeds. When we needed gas we had to wake the guy up at night to turn on the pumps. He lived at the station. We did a trip through there years later and it was all built up. Glad you made it through the winds in the desert. We got stopped by a cop once in Arizona doing 110 and he told us the crosswinds could flip the car. After that I made my husband slow down.Have fun crossing the Mississippi!
Ooh, lots of shooting stars! That bit sounds awesome
Good luck with your goal!
Wow! you guys are really hauling freight. That’s a lot of driving in one day.
