Not many good pics today; we left Albuquerque with the idea of getting as far down the interstate as we could. The weather wasn't the most cooperative, it was rainy and windy for most of the way across New Mexico. The rain stopped for a while when we passed Tucumcari and left the mountains. I was able to use the cruise control comfortably and soon afterward we crossed over into northern Texas.
When we passed through Amarillo the rain & wind came back and continued on and off for the rest of the day. We crossed into Oklahoma and took a break at a highway rest stop, and we were surprised to find the nicest rest stop we've ever seen. The welcome sign was made of stone, the restrooms had new marble countertops and there was free fresh coffee.
We only logged 507 miles for the day but we decided to call it quits around 5:30 in Oklahoma City. Tomorrow's forecast is dry and we'll start out on I-44 toward St Louis, we have 1,387 miles left to make it home on the weekend, and the schedule is looking good.
