R-Cal: Sunday 21 October 2012

Qw - 2012/10/21 Sunday 09:09

Today we decided to see if we can get out of the hotel room early and take a morning drive.  I hate the amount of time it takes to get in and out of rooms.

Much unlike the outer roads which much of the orignal route 66 roadbed has become, this texas road (TX 70) is extremely well maintained.  This road is even better than I-40.

We found ourselves on I-40 in some segments as the old route 66 is long gone or impassable or it dead ends in no where places.

We passed through and area on the southwest side of the city that looked sort of like an art gallery/antique district.

This trip has gone like a well oiled machine if that machine were a rusted out old Vega and it is well oiled because it uses more oil than gas.  We rushed yesterday only to realize I screwed up the itinerary.  First rule of the route is that if you take the route, throw out the itinerary.  Checking in and out of motels takes way too much time.  Last night we had to go 18 miles south of the route in Clarenden to find a decent room.  We would have stayed in Shamrock but all the rooms were booked due to a charity concert.  We missed seeing the Sand Hills Curiosity shop opened as we got there too late.
