Oklahoma was revealed through foggy and dusty morning air. Again, the diversity of the landscape was stunning. One side of the road would be overtaken over by rolling red hills and huge pointed mounds of red dirt that gave a very rugged, worn feel while the other side of the road would be completely flat. The land told a story of a very worn, roughened and tough life. The feeling of insignificance that Texas had given me was still there throughout Oklahoma. I pulled into the wet parking lot of the Route 66 museum in Elk City, Oklahoma as the fog [View Full Entry]

Grace and I woke up in Tulsa this morning (I think that is the same place we went to bed last night. I was too tired to care.) It was kind of a "dive" of a motel down in the industrial area of Southern Tulsa but it was close to Route 66 and it had a keyboard, even though the spacebar didn't work very well. You wouldbegintotypeanditwouldlooklikethis. Then you would have to go back and pound on the spacebar to make sure it created a space. Needless to say, it was frustrating trying to write our blog. I had mentioned that [View Full Entry]

We left Memphis yesterday after visiting Graceland. On one side of Elvis Presley Boulevard is some hideous complex that holds various exhibits including his jets and cars. The war memorabilia of Elvis was worth seeing as it had many little ration and equipment cards, his uniforms and the story of meeting Priscilla. Mostly I thought this side of the street was poorly setup with the main goal of getting visitors to visit all the exhibits seperatly so that you then have to enter one of 13 gift shops. Also, park some where else other than the complex as it appeared they [View Full Entry]

deep in the heart of Texas!!! Although I am not in Texas anymore...nor New Mexico for that matter...I still have the lonestar state on the brain! Yesterday was a tough day because I was in a lousy mood. I have not been sleeping well on the road and its starting to catch up to me. I am sure my parents are feeling the wrath of Mary as well. It seems nobody benefits when I am overtired! We left the Verde Valley in Arizona early yesterday after a stop at Randall's. Its a little mom and pop breakfast place that locals frequent.

Obfuscator writes: When we left our motel in the morning, we had a few Amarillo stops in mind for the day. First we headed a bit west of the city, to what is known as the Cadillac Ranch. Here, in the middle of a big empty field, sit 10 old Cadillacs. Well, perhaps sit isn't the right term. They're all buried nose first in a row in the big empty field. That's not necessarily the most impressive thing about the Cadillac Ranch. Each of these Cadillacs is covered from top to bottom with graffiti. The owner of the ranch invites any [View Full Entry]

Thursday (13th) Wayne and I went to the hospital for appointment with Orthopaedic Doctor who wanted more x-rays on ankle and wrist to ensure all okay. Took most of the morning whilst Chris and Dean collected the U-haul van, strapped the bikes in securely and changed the drop off to Las Vegas as no Eaglerider depot in Santa Fe. Headed towards the boarder 'run for the boarder', stopped at a couple of spots for photo's, huge cross with statues - used a golf cart to get around site. Now in Texas and arrived at Amarillo Super 8, went shopping at Wal-Mart, [View Full Entry]

Welcome to Day Two! We woke up this morning around 8am, showered, ate some cereal and headed out on the road. We got a bit turned around in the beginning, just finding our way back to Route 66, but after we found it it was smooth sailing....we kind of. We finished up Missouri and continued on to Kansas, a whopping 13.2 miles!!! In Kansas we passed over the Marsh Arch Bridge (the last of its kind), it was very cool [see picture #1] (sorry that it is a bit crooked). After passing over the bridge and driving a couple more [View Full Entry]
