We made it! We left last night at about 8:30pm EST and arrived in Amarillo at 4:00pm CST. It was an ambitiously sought 18+ hour drive, highlighted by a few neat things:
- Five minutes into the trip, nearly hitting a dog that was eating a dead racoon off the road
- Lots of giant crosses
- OMG WIND FARMS! There were vast fields of wind turbines in Texas
- Blowing the fuse that controls my horn, radio amps and cigarette lighter because I was running the GPS charger, my cell phone charger, and a power inverter with another cell phone charging in that, all at the same time. Luckily, Holly came to the rescue and knew exactly what to do.
- Free sopapillas at the cute Mexican restaurant across the street from our hotel!
- Since when do I have ALLERGIES?
We're staying here overnight and leaving first thing in the morning for Roswell, New Mexico. I hope I get to meet some aliens... or at least people that think they are aliens.
I don't have any photos for you yet, but here is a video with the song that's been stuck in my head for the entirety of this trip:

I feel bad for you. /this is a horrible song! You should be listening to that CD.
I'm glad you guys made it safe. Make sure that all of you get some sleep. Those aliens aren't going to let you rest.
